I was told by the compounding pharmacy in my town,that as long as the brand Armour was available, they couldn’t sell the compounded one.

Why isn’t anybody talking about compounded pharmacies. I have one that is going to use rice flour filler instead of the cellulose. I still have some old Armour to use up before I try it. Have people have any luck using compounded, it seems less hassle than getting from Canada? What about Nutri-meds they 2 different glandular desiccated thyroids?

I’ve heard great things about Indian meds but haven’t found one (reputable or otherwise) that sells dessicated thyroid. Disregarding the fact that I’m apparently blind, does anyone have a favorite Indian site?
Thank you so much! S.

Hope this helps anyone who is worried where their meds are being manufactured.
When I ordered my Thyroid meds from crossborderpharmacy they let me select which countries I would accept my medication to be made in and shipped from. I only put a check mark in the boxes for Canada and the US as those were the only countries I was comfortable with

Has anyone ordered Erfa Thyroid in 2010? I ordered one bottle of half grain which cost $18 and they charged me $31 to ship to the US!! I could not believe it…is this the norm?

(From Janie: Alexi, it’s too bad you didn’t define who they” is or was. Shipping rates and even the price of Erfa is different from place to place. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/options-for-thyroid-treatment )

Bought a 500 bottle of 60 mg Erfa thyroid tabs Sept ’09, $100 total delivered cost to US, worked great. Having trouble re-ordering 500 bottle outside of Canada (Erfa deleted ordering). Erfa said perhaps could do 500s Special Order from inside Canada. Is FDA/Customs/US gov meddling somewhere in there, or Canadian hoarding?

I’d like to offer another way of treating whilst this current fiasco is insitu. A few years ago i tried the original Somatomed by Vespro and was impressed but at the time did not know it was a nine month treatment then it’s a managemenmt dose after. It assists your own glandular system to release it’s own hormones,it supports liver function too,it was trialled in the nineties for chronic fatigue syndrome with favourable results. I tried with no ill effects and felt it worked,and it was suggested by a doctor! in 2002 and now aim to try it out for good properly,it also has the building blocks of amino acids,it is considered homeopathic/herbal,it has Mumiyo a Russian herb in it too. ALSO Gluten actually stops the Pituitary Gland from producing Growth hormone.

Hello

Just reading your posts on ERFA Thyroid meds .… I’m in Australia and can’t get any more of the Armour or Nature thyroid I had been taking — I’m wondering is ERFA a porcine based pill too ? Where exactly can I order some ?

many thanks in advance

I started taking efra thyroid after not being able to get Armour, which I’ve been on for 15 years. I did not have a good reaction! It made my heart race, kept me awake and made me feel like I was jumping out of my skin! It almost felt like a panic attack! Not good!
I think the ratio must be off for me, or else the dose just doesn’t translate. I am considering taking a half (60 mg tablet) but am actually too nervous to try it since the feeling was just too awful. Any thoughts?
