Has anyone got any views I can put to Goldshield

[Guest guest]

I have just had a call from Goldshield and have been given a contact number, and

I have mentioned TPA to them and information that I came across this morning

about taking thyroxine at night rather than in the morning. I have also

mentioned that lactose can be a particular problem to quite a few patients, plus

the fact that this is put in quite a lot of pills.

I also bought up about calcium carbonate being a problem taken within 4 hours of

taking thyroxine, but in turn mentioned that in some areas like mine the water

is high in calcium carbonate and that they in turn add this to a lot of food, so

in turn it can also cause problems to thyroxine. I also mentioned about

information gathered through canines that generic versions are not so easily

absorbed. He was very interested in my views and is interested in anything

further through the TPA.

I think it sounds like they may alter the ingredients in thyroxine possibly the

lactose.

I also mentioned that my hair does not fall out like it was when taking

thyroxine. I also said that some patients require some T3 as well, but we are

not being tested for this, in regard to this I did mention my idea of the use of

a cream to administer T3 so that it does not go through ones gut causing an

upset stomach.

Let me know if I can suggest any more to Goldshield
