Re Erfa Thyroid no longer available without a prescription.

[Guest guest]

The latest information I have received from www.valuepharmaceutricals.com

re Erfa 'Thyroid' is

" Unfortunately the dispensing pharmacy

we utilize has had a regulation change and they require a prescription. We

will require prescription for all Armour Thyroid orders as of January 10th,

2012. "

I am wondering whether they have been purchasing their

Erfa 'Thyroid' direct from Canada where a prescription is, and always has been,

required to be sent with any order.

Afshin, owner of www.internationalpharmacy.com

has sent me the following information last night which I am passing on here.

" I have looked at the bill being considered here in the

US and rest assure there are ways around it.

If

the bill is passed into law, I don't think it would apply to IPS. However

assuming that it does, I will have various ways of getting around it. One

way would be for established customers to place orders via telephone, email or

fax. The bill does not cover these types of orders (it covers orders

placed on line only). Another solution would be to move IPS processing

and shipping departments outside of the US. Many countries have laws that

allow international pharmacy operations.

It

would be very helpful if you could find out the reason for the change in policy

at valuepharmaceuticals. It seems to me that the pharmacy they were using

was in Canada and not the US. Has there been a change in Canada? Or

perhaps Vanuatu? If you have any information please let me know " .

I have not heard of any problems with any of the other Internet

Pharmacies that we use, so for the moment, it appears that only www.valuepharmaceuticals.com has

been affected.

Tina,

Erfa is just one of the brands of Natual thyroid. There are many others, all

contain natural T4, T3, and all the other stuff in roughly the same quantities.

It's still possible to buy the other brands...... it's only one pharmacy who

says they can no longer supply, and I think they have misunderstood the rules

......

Have you tried any other brands? There is armour, nature throid, thiroyd s, to

start with......

I've been taking Erfa since november and have been feeling well for the first

time since my diagnosis 7yrs ago.

Hello all, I've just been reading the posts about this and I feel sick, I've

been taking Erfa since november and have been feeling well for the first time

since my diagnosis 7yrs ago. I'm wondering if I should start looking for a

private doctor who will prescribe it for me, I live in Belfast so if anyone has

any information of a doctor I could contact I'd really appreciate it.

Thankyou,

Tina.

The domain name www.valuepharmaceuticals.com is registered to a holding company

in Port Vila, Vanuatu but the servers hosting the website are located in Canada

with the service provided by Shaw Canada.This would I think make them subject to

Canadian law. Are there any postage details on the parcels to indicate where

they were posted from?
