How much does Nature-Throid cost without insurance?

Nature-Throid's retail price in 2021 was $29.09, but since 2021 there have been problems with the supply of Nature-Throid, and it has been unavailable.

This has resulted in the manufacturer selling Thyroid USP, which is the active pharmaceutical ingredient. This allows compounding companies to make a compounded version that contains the same active ingredient as in the RLC branded product, but this will be more expensive (average price $63). You will need a prescription from your doctor before the compounding lab will make it up for you. In general, Medicare prescription drug plans (Part D) do not cover this drug.
