For Underactive Thyroid "Today, I suddenly found out that Nature-Throid medication has been recalled and is no longer available. I've been on it for over a year. However, after reading about the recall, it makes me wonder how long the subpotency has actually occurred because my last TSH values in Feb 2020 were higher than they have been in a long time. I have a lot of symptoms of hypo: constipation, hair loss, brittle nails, fatigue, brain fog, dry skin, etc. However, when my doctor tried to up the dose to the next highest, I had horrible heart palpitations. I'm scared and concerned because I have so many allergies and intolerances. This medication contained no excipients that caused me issues. The only one available like it is Tirosint, which only contains T4. My doctor called it in and it's not covered by insurance so I have to go thru a specialty pharmacy. I am so angry."

For Hypothyroidism, After Thyroid Removal "So happy with Nature-Throid. I needed a change after 15 years with Levoxyl because my provider wanted to lower that drug’s dosage, which I couldn’t tolerate. Two months into Nature-Throid, I’m feeling very good. I was concerned that I’d experience mood swings, tingling, joint pain and the like, but so far, all I have is a little weight gain."

For Thyroid Cancer "I was on synthetic thyroid meds for over 10 years after thyroid cancer. My levels looked fine said the doctor, but I clearly wasn’t. You’re depressed said the other doctor. Having had thyroid and then immediately breast cancer, well yes, I guess I am depressed! Loaded me up on antidepressants. I guess I feel better? I know I’m supposed to, but I wasn’t living, I was surviving and that was a chore! Finally threw myself at the doctors feet bawling, and said PLEASE treat ME, NOT the lab work!!! Wow here comes nature thyroid. My life began again after 10+ years!! Yipppeee! After a year of finally feeling like myself again, it was recalled. Right back to feeling like I just can’t drag myself out of the bed, and that is NOT me!! WHAT is everyone else doing without our wonder drug? The pharmacist told me last week he’s pretty sure it isn’t coming back!! I can’t imagine the rest of my life feeling like this!!!"

For Underactive Thyroid "I have been taking Nature-Throid for 7 years. I had trouble with availability a couple years ago but rode it out. That incident lasted several months of only being allotted 15-30 pills at a time. This past recall was such an issue. I basically turned in my recalled product and NEVER got reimbursed from RLC labs or my pharmacy. I'm very upset about it and have contacted both multiple times to no avail. And my doctor was just adjusting my doses when I had to switch and basically redo all my labs after weeks of being on NP-thyroid. My doctor did prefer Nature-Throid because their increments allowed for more specific dosing. So with NP-Thyroid I have had to cut some pills in half but to me that is worth the extra effort. I also found out my insurance will pay for NP-Thyroid vs. Nature-Throid for which I was paying out of pocket. I will never go back. I honestly do not notice a difference between the two. I just need a reliable company."

For Underactive Thyroid "I am hypothyroid. Nature-Throid gave me back my life!! It took away all the negative feelings of hypothyroidism, especially fatigue & loss of desire. NP Thyroid, Armour & Levothyroxine all cause severe mood swings & left me feeling hopeless. PLEASE bring back Nature-Throid - it has less ingredients than all the others which is important for my gut & constipation issues & feelings - it is a wonderful drug."

For Underactive Thyroid "The nice thing about this medication is that it cuts well where Armour is much harder to cut (crumbles) in order to get optimal levels. Sometimes we need to add a bit extra."
