Hi I have just returned from Australia and am looking for a Practitioner in the UK to prescribe Desiccated Thyroid Extract. Has anyone already been prescribed this and can advise?

🙂 This has been discussed on ThyroidUK...

Type ThyroidUK in the searchbox (top right)

Then search that site for Desiccated Thyroid Extract

Thank you I have read the site but wondering if anyone can advise if they know of any GP or other practitioner able to prescribe the extract.

American and Canadian brands of NDT are now available in the UK. The American brands are Armour Thyroid, NatureThroid, WP Thyroid and NP Thyroid. There is one Canadian brand, ERFA Thyroid.
