Re: FDA stopped my shipment from MyRXforless

[Guest guest]

I'm not trying to confuse, just told what I know. Talked to Canada,

package came from mexico. Another thing I can't understand is there

are many pharmacy websites (at least 2 dozen, didn't count) that look

like you can really get meds from it until you start delving around

and are taken to MyRXforless. What is up with that I wonder.

You mention MyRxforless and then referred to a woman in Canada. I'm

confused because when I pulled myrxforless.com it says Mexican

Pharmacy on the site.

This is from the insert taken from a bottle of the generic natural thyroid by Time Cap Labs, Farminington New York.

Description: Thyroid Tablets, USP, micro-coated, easy to swallow with a reduced odor, for oral use are natural preparations derived from porcine thyroid glands. (T3 liothyronine is approximately four times as potent as T4 levothyroxine on a micorgram for microgram basis). They provide 38 mcg levothyroxine (T4) and 9 mcg liothyronine (T3) for each 65 mg of the labeled content of thyroid.

The article in the link below specifies levothyroxine sodium, the synthetic T4....

I pulled the sock out of my mouth.

I read through the rest of this article... The two year period that I was struggling to get stable on synthroid, getting sick when I took it, juggling doses, splitting tabs and multidosing, gaining weight so fast that from week to week I couldnt' wear the same clothes was chock full of recalls!!!!!!!!!!

How much damage was done to me, not to mention the suffering, during that period of time was directly do to a crap product!!!!?????????!!!!!!

This is inexcusable! This was done solely for the financial benefit of a pharmaceutical company and I'm sooooo disgusted.

You're right, MyRxForLess is a Mexican pharmacy, not Canadian. This is where I get my Armour.

Re: FDA stopped my shipment from MyRXforless

I have never ordered my medicine from an international pharmacy. You mention MyRxforless and then referred to a woman in Canada. I'm confused because when I pulled myrxforless.com it says Mexican Pharmacy on the site.

Are you saying that it was Time Capp levothyroixine, or are you saying that

it was the generic natural thyroid? Time Capp does make the natural

thyroid, but I'm having difficulty understanding what it is you're saying

here, other than the fact that they're going to do a reversal from your

credit card.

Yes, it is natural thyroid AND it is a Mexican pharmacy. I don't quite understand what is going on here, that is, from here to Canada? Mexico.
