Re: FDA stopped my shipment from MyRXforless

[Guest guest]

There are many people on this list that know a whole lot more about this than me but I just want to put some thoughts out there. The natural is still T3 and T4, only it is coming from pigs. The synthetic is being made with chemicals (for lack of a better word) but is also called T3 and T4. I notice a lot of the synthetic info has the word sodium such as liothyronine sodium and the natural seems to not use the word sodium. I'm wondering if that labeling makes a difference. I'm probably not making myself clear. Sorry. I also want to make sure no one thinks I am agreeing or disagreeing. I'm just trying to figure this out like the rest of you.

Chris... no, don't feel bad for bringing this up.. it's something that we should figure out, I think, so that we know what the laws are, what the meds are that we have access to and what our rights are. You are the first and no one was sure what was going on... now we're figuring it out and perhaps will avoid hassle for someone else?

I've done great on Time Caps. I think their people are informative and helpful and with my budget, it's what I can afford. I need to know what the status of my med availability is, so this is all very important to me.

What ever we may end up finding out.

I thank you , VERY much, for letting us know!

You made sense, Shelli, and it's not a bad idea that that difference be brought up.

Natural thyroid is derived from either Pigs or Cows. Armour and the Time Caps come from pigs.... other brands, well... I'll just concentrate on what we're discussing now.

The glands come from animals that are slaughtered for human food. They are freeze dried and then powdered, and then huge batches of the processed powder are mixed together and put into barrels. The barrels are tested for consistency of potency and then that powder is what is used, combined with the appropriate fillers and binders, to make the pills that we take. As far as I've been able to find out, all that powder comes from one source. They contain all the elements normally found in and manufactured by the thyroid gland. T4 (levothyroxine), T3 (liothyronine), T2, T1 and Calcitonin. The different doses of pills are identifiable by their different sizes. The larger the pill, the higher the dosage of hormone.

Synthetic thyroid, like Synthroid and Levoxyl, and others. Are chemical formulas that are mixed up in batches. The consistency of the batches vary as far as potency and shelf life (this has been proven time and time again in recalls of the products). These batches of product are produced by multiple sources, there is no centralized location. That is why it's necessary to stick to the same brands of synthetics and when you do need to switch you need to be retested to make sure that the dosage is correct.

The different dosages are identified by the color of dye used in the tab, the color coding is NOT consistent between brands, but specific to each brand. So a pink Synthroid tab is not the same dose as a pink Levothroid (I used to know the color codes, but it's been so long since I've dealt with synthetics, I'd have to look it up again)

In the article that I read this morning, I found that changes as simple as colors and fillers can change the potency of the tabs....

The synthetics come in three varieties. Synthroid, Levoxyl and others are T4 (levothyroxine sodium) only. Cytomel is T3 (not sure of the name on this one) only and oh NO.. I forgot the name again.. we have a synthetic that is T4 and T3 together... but I keep forgetting the name... some one bail me out here!

The FDA regulation stuff has to do with the synthetics due to the fact that they were never approved when they were brought into distribution and the resulting (and numerous) recalls due to potency issues and self life.

Natural thyroid as NEVER been recalled. Not once in the more than 100 years that it's been in use. Now look at the track record of the synthetics, around for about 50 years, dozens and dozens of recalls and for more than just one brand... Doesn't give me a whole lot of faith... but that is my opinion, you should all form your own.

You are exactly right. The levothyroxine in Armour is bound to a protein, not to a sodium ion. Shelli wrote:

Thyrolar!!! Why can I not get that name to stick in my brain???

The last info I ran across what that the equipment upgrade is an attempt to make a product that is more stable and not in need of refrigeration.

They were also supposed to be available again this fall.... Wonder if they'll make it?

When they do come back, that means that the Armour shortage should be over... That will be a relief for many, I'm sure.

The way I read this, however, Thyrolar should have been required to go through the NDA process, but they were not. The current unavailability of Thyrolar is due to a (stupid) decision on the part of Forest to upgrade their equipment, stopping production on all doses at the same time. The FDA did not require them to do this.

My hunch is that it isn't that Time Cap isn't legal in the US. It's

just that you bought a prescription med from Mexico.

60 minutes had a thing on the prescription drug companies and how

much money they make etc. This pharmacy in Canada has gotten letters

from US drug companies telling them that if they sell meds to US

citizens they will no longer get those meds. If you check their

website you should be able to find the story.

My hunch is that it isn't that Time Cap isn't legal in the US. It's

just that you bought a prescription med from Mexico.

60 minutes had a thing on the prescription drug companies and how

much money they make etc. This pharmacy in Canada has gotten letters

from US drug companies telling them that if they sell meds to US

citizens they will no longer get those meds. If you check their

website you should be able to find the story.

That's true. The US pharmacies have threatened to cut off all sales to anyone outside the states that resells to the states.

It's all big money that causes all these problems.

Let me rephrase that -

due to a STUPID decision!!!!!!

I wonder how many people will even go back to Thyrolar when it

becomes available again. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Louise

PS I think Forest should do a Thyrolar loyalty thing when it comes

back.

PS 2 I don't remember where I heard it but I thought Thyrolar started

in the 50's or something like that. Maybe it was grandparented.

> The way I read this, however, Thyrolar should have been required to

go through the NDA process, but they were not. The current

unavailability of Thyrolar is due to a (stupid) decision on the part

of Forest to upgrade their equipment, stopping production on all

doses at the same time. The FDA did not require them to do this.
