For Hashimoto's disease "New batch has a horrible, horrible cat litter smell, thicker pills, and speckles on it! Different formula for sure, especially after consuming it, my thyroid is super swollen, and I’m having body aches, something I get when I eat dairy or food I am not supposed to! This is unacceptable. I tried reaching out by phone and email to Acella and no answer! We want answers now!!!! This is harming us patients with this autoimmune disorder. If you want your money's worth, give us something worthy, please, we’re begging you, we need this medication to stay alive and in good shape for the sake of our family and jobs!"

For Underactive Thyroid "This is the scariest medicine I have ever taken. Never had these problems on Nature Thyroid until I switched to this medication, and within a month developed horrible pain in my hand joints that went on for months until it was diagnosed as pseudogout caused by this stuff. Just a very bad and painful experience. Never want to take it again."

For Hashimoto's disease "I was on Armour Thyroid as was doing okay. Not great, but certainly better than when I was on Synthroid. Then my pharmacy changed my prescription to NP Thyroid from ACE without telling me, and I have been horribly sick to my stomach, headaches, exhausted, confused, and foggy-brained. No medicine is worth this."

For Underactive Thyroid "I have taken both the generic and Synthroid for 10 years, trying desperately to stop the hair loss. Three months ago, my endocrinologist switched me to NP, and within 3 weeks, my hair stopped falling out. I do still have very dry skin, but otherwise, I feel good."

For Hashimoto's disease "I have noticed a change in health within 2 weeks of a change in taste on the batch of NP Thyroid I received. It changed in October 2019. It appears a sweetener and something else were added to the pills. More fillers and less medicine. I even inquired at the pharmacy that I got it from if there was an ingredient change. They checked the computer and said no. I haven't felt well since the change."

For Hashimoto's disease "After 3 years of a hellish ordeal with Synthroid, I decided to quit thyroid hormone replacement. Synthroid was literally killing me. The worst I've ever felt. 6 months after stopping Synthroid, I was 'allowed' to take NDT. I took Armour for over a year, and while it worked great to suppress TSH, I still had hypo symptoms. After 15 months on Armour, I was accidentally dispensed NP Thyroid without knowing what it was. After I verified it to be an NDT, I took it. After 2 months on NP, I didn't feel perfect, but I noticed the sweating was gone and constipation resolved. After 4 months, everything was going well, the pharmacy corrected their 'mistake' and gave me Armour. Back to the constipation/sweating. I had to fight to get back NP. Five months, no excessive sweating or constipation, and I'm dreaming again (yay 4 REM) and taking fewer naps in the P.M., like I used to do as if my life depended on it. I recommend you try NP Thyroid if you have T4-to-T3 conversion issues. I wish you the best, and I hope you regain your life."

For Underactive Thyroid "Message to my physician: The last prescription you gave me was for Thyroid NP. I have been on Armour for 20 plus years. Perhaps it was a mistake, or maybe you wanted me to try it, but I wasn’t aware of it until my prescription was filled. I decided to go with it because the price was considerably lower than Armour. I have been on it for 6 weeks and had several severe hypo issues, stomach pain, arthritic knee pain, muscle pain. I need to go back on Armour ASAP…. I feel awful!!!!! I haven’t felt this bad ever.

For Underactive Thyroid "Had been taking 120 mg of Armour Thyroid for years when the price shot up. I looked for an alternative and was on Nature-Thyroid and had no problems when suddenly it disappeared from the market. I went back to Armour but was sick of the price gouging and found NP Thyroid. I have been on it for a month now and have been an utter mess. The first week was fine, but then a sudden drop in general well-being. I cannot focus, constant fatigue, grogginess, barely able to function, balance is off... just generally horrible. Thankfully, I am able to get Nature-Thyroid again and am waiting for the new prescription to arrive. Once it does, NP is going in the trash. Avoid... avoid... avoid!!!"

For Hypothyroidism, After Thyroid Removal "I've been taking NP Thyroid for the last 6 months and am completely happy with it. It reminds me of what Naturethroid was when I was taking it after getting off Synthroid following a thyroidectomy. Prior to NP, I was given the generic version of NP, which is Levothyroxine/Liothyronine, and felt terrible on it. It reminded me of Synthroid. They were both terrible, the generic version of NP and Synthroid both made my hands and legs swell up. I gained weight on both. If you are on the generic version of NP, then you are NOT taking NP by Acella. I was also on Naturethroid after getting off Synthroid and did great on it, even lost half the weight I gained while on Synthroid, and felt 100% better within just months of being on it. Then a shortage occurred, and that's when I had to switch over to NP. I definitely feel as good as I did when I was on Naturethroid."

For Underactive Thyroid "Started taking NP Thyroid in July as per Dr.'s prescription due to a slightly low reading on a blood test. I've been on bioidentical hormone replacement for about a year and have regular labs to check levels. First week, I was extremely irritable. Since then, my skin is very itchy and have areas on my shoulders, forearms, and shins where bumps/skin eruptions have appeared that are hyper-itchy. Plus, I'm hot all the time. I teach exercise classes, and of course, I get hot and sweat, but since I started on this medication, I sweat profusely. Plus, I live in the southeast, and with the sweltering heat we've had for the past 3 months, it's been almost intolerable. And like others have said in these reviews, the stuff stinks! I'm calling the Dr. today to get instructions on how to come off this poison."

For Hashimoto's disease "I was on Synthroid for about 15 years, it made my hair fall out, and I was always exhausted. I told my endocrine doc, and he told me that it wasn’t the Synthroid, it was my Hashimoto's :-( Fast forward to two years ago, I moved and got a new doctor and hairdresser. The hairdresser asked me how long I’d been on Synthroid, I told him 15 years. He said to get on a natural NP Thyroid. I did and immediately felt better, and my hair came in thick and shiny!"

For Hashimoto's disease "Switched from Levothyroxine to NP Thyroid in Aug 2017 and have been very happy with the response - finally feeling a bit normal and lost some weight. But this last refill, the smell and taste are AWFUL!! Like others have reported, I called Acella and got the standard answer that it can vary from batch to batch - but I’ve been on it for 2 years, and it’s never been like this! Hope they get it straightened out soon!!"

For Hypothyroidism, After Thyroid Removal "Walmart pharmacy substituted NP for Armour thyroid. It makes me very depressed, sleepless, and fatigued. It makes me angry because they did this without my permission after I told them before that I didn’t want NP because of the same issues before. I would avoid NP!!!!"

For Hypothyroidism, After Thyroid Removal "This was the email from Acella. Good afternoon, Antoinette. Thank you for contacting us, and we are here to listen to all comments and concerns. Consumers are of the utmost importance in everything that we do. We recently changed our API suppliers to an FDA-inspected and regulated source in Europe, but all of our manufacturing still takes place in the U.S. With this change, you may notice slight cosmetic and odor variances that are no cause for concern. Our formulation has and will remain consistent, along with our exacting quality standards that undergo rigorous testing to maintain that T3 and T4 always remain within the specifications by the USP. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any comments or concerns. I haven't had any symptoms return just yet. Anyone else taste cat urine, but feeling okay?"

For Underactive Thyroid "After several successful years of taking Nature Throid, the supplier made a recall, and as a result, I was switched to NP Thyroid. It smells like cat urine, and I am not sure how consistent the dosing is from pill to pill. I feel pretty inconsistent from week to week on it. I have gone through approx 90 days on it and would very much like to return to Nature Throid."

For Hashimoto's disease "Loved NP Thyroid but then started feeling really ill. Migraines, fatigue, nausea, joint pain, brain fog, etc. This was my lifesaver and now just horrible. My doctor switched me to medication from a compounding pharmacy. So disappointed in Acella Pharmaceuticals for changing what was a wonderful product."

For Hypothyroidism, After Thyroid Removal "I kept feeling bloated at the top part of my tummy. I had heart palpitations, then realized that they changed my medication from Armour Thyroid to NP Thyroid. I actually just stopped taking it. I know I probably shouldn't, but with COVID-19 and no doctor's appointment in sight, I just wanted to feel better, and I do! I thought I'd start taking Armour again and called the doctor's office, and much to my surprise, they called it in. I checked online with the pharmacy, and it's NP Thyroid! OMG, are you kidding me? I have to call the pharmacy tomorrow and see about changing to Armour again. Geesh! I used to take NP fine until several months ago."

For Thyroid Cancer "I also have been feeling bloated, tired, and pain in my chest and arm. I thought it was because of my recent surgery after Easter. I started to smell the smell of cat urine while taking my pill and thought it was weird because I never realized it before. I googled recalls on these NP 330 thyroid pills and found this site. Thank God! This is probably why I am not feeling well lately. I tried calling the company Acella, but they haven't returned my calls yet, so I just called the FDA. 888-463-6332. I explained the situation and mentioned this site, plus told her to look herself, not sure if she will. Anyway, she said that anyone that is, or has had issues needs to fill out a form called MedWatch. This is the way to get them to investigate. Thanks, everyone! Let's help others that aren't aware."

For Underactive Thyroid "NP Thyroid med makes me feel very depressed. Very emotional, dizzy, feel like I'm dying. I can't sleep. Always hurting all over my body. Urinary tract infection out of nowhere. I'm going to the doctor ASAP to tell him to get me off these meds."

For Hashimoto's disease "Was on Armour Thyroid for years. I needed to increase my dose last year and was given NP Thyroid as a supplement. I became regulated by December 2019. By March 2020, I was hypo again. I went in and my doctor couldn't believe I had fallen so fast. He is struggling to let me use NDT because he believes in levothyroxine. I increased the dose, four weeks later, I was almost comatose, so I called to raise again. Only mildly better, but still hypo. I talked to the admin of a thyroid Facebook page who said to stick to Armour only! NP was reformulated in September 2019, and the company won't admit to it, but many have fallen hypo since!"

For Underactive Thyroid "I was suffering from terrible depression. My doctor increased my NP Thyroid dose from 30 mg per day to 60 mg per day. My depression has abated. I didn’t have to take an antidepressant. I’m feeling much better about life and myself, having made this small change in my daily routine!"

For Underactive Thyroid "I had been on Nature Throid for over 5 years but changed this month to NP. My BP has mysteriously gone up in the past year, so I decided to give NP Thyroid a try to see if my blood pressure stabilizes, and so far so good! It's been only a few weeks, so in 8 weeks I shall see how it goes, but I am pleased thus far. It seems Nature Throid has a huge amount of fillers my body just can't tolerate, at least that is my conclusion. Everyone is different, but I definitely don't want so many fillers in my meds all my life!"

For Underactive Thyroid "My doctor put me on 60 mg of NP thyroid. First couple of days I was okay, on day 4, I started having extremely high blood pressure, barely able to walk, and had a migraine headache. Called my doctor and lowered my dose to 30 mg. After 3 days, I started experiencing the same things. Do not take this medication. Something is seriously wrong. And the smell of NP thyroid is awful."

For Underactive Thyroid "A year ago, this month, I was suddenly finding it difficult to get NP Thyroid 30 mg. I started getting it easier through a different pharmacy. In October, I noticed a lot of little purple spots on the back of my hands. I’ve continued getting them here and there on my arms and hands. As well, I had strong heart palpitations that would sometimes make me feel faint. I had my heart checked out twice, but nothing explained the palpitations. Add to all that, I noticed my upper abdomen was feeling bloated. I was also feeling tired and anxious. Something wasn’t right. A few nights ago, something made me decide to research NP Thyroid medication, and I was shocked to see some of the side effects people were having. I quit taking it, and already, no more little purple spots! After a year of seeing them pop up here and there on my arms and hands - gone. I’m wondering if I have damaged my health taking it for a year. Don’t take this medicine!"

For Underactive Thyroid "I was on NP Thyroid for 6 months. I was told it was better than Levo. It seemed to work the first few months, the last couple of months, I have been extremely tired, severe joint pain, and occasional flu symptoms. Just out of curiosity, my wife looked up the side effects, and after that, I quit using it, and in a few days, I am feeling better. This stuff is garbage."
