Are you refering to Erfa? Are you in the U.S.? If so, why would you not want Armour or Nature Throid?

Here in the United States a law was passed not to long ago that it is legal to purchase medications from Canada and Mexico because, I believe, their medications were found to be inconsistent. I guess there is always the black market, but then there is no guarantee what you are getting.

Actually, it is legal to purchase dessicated thyroid from Canada. There is a form your doctor has to complete for the Canadian pharmacy.

I actually meant illegal. This was passed not to long ago.

Thanks to all who took there time to answer me. Yea, I am in the US, in FL. Armour has changed their formulation ( by demand from the FDA) to have an extended shelf life. It has many side effects that I can not tolerate. Yes, you can order ERFA from Canada. Just as in the US, you must provide a prescription from your doctor. That is the only requirement. My doctor has no problems with ERFA. EFRA, by the way is the manufacturer, not the product. Their product is called Thyroid. Not black market and as consistent as Armour was. Many folks order it. I am hoping to find the pharmacy that most folks use. Again, thanks for your replys.

Hi, Gardener.

If I'm not mistaken, you can order it directly from the manufacturer.
