Nå har det seg slik at de får thyreoïdum dekket av forsikringen nå,spesielt når de tar det i kombinasjon med litt thyroxin. (thyreoïdum har mindre t4 enn Armour så det er for lite t4 for mange)

Her er for ordens skyld flere detaljer, fra hypoforumet på hypomaarniethappy:

"Hi Nora,

The thyreoidum in Holland comes from the company: Biofac in Kastrup, Denmark. It is in Holland imported by Fagron Farmaceuticals. They sell it to wholesaletrades and then it goes to the farmacies.
The farmacies make capsules.
A lot of us get our thyreoidum from the farmacie:
Rivieren Apotheek
Maasstraat 135-137
1079 BE Amsterdam
tel. 020-6425595"

"Nora,

The price of 90 capsules with 75 mg of thyreoïdum is about € 10,00 = NOK 78,5196"

Min kommentar: de er heller 60 mg per kapsel.
De kommer i 60, 30 og 15 mg.

"Nora,

My brother-in-law is a chemist and he makes the capsules for me to measure.
The strenght of thyreoïdum can change a bit in every batch, but Fagron Farmaceuticals has the obligation to deliver an analysisreport on every batch, so the chemist can calculate how much T4 and T3 compares to te prescription of my endo.

Thyreoïdumcapsules can be made in every size you need, but most farmacies refuse to do that, because they say it is too labourious and they need special supplies by way of precaution.

In thyreoïdum T4 : T3 is about 3 : 1, so most people here take some extra levothyroxine.

As "raw material" thyreoïdum is registered. Wy can get here capsules of that "raw material", handmade in the farmacy, but Fagron Farmaceuticals delivers (or delivered) tablets too. But the tablets are much more expensive!

Grts, Jos"
Det kan forklare de 75 mg, at svogeren hennes lager 75 mg for henne etter "mål"

I tråden "sammenstelling thyeoïdum" står det mere detaljer:

"In de thyreoïdumtabletten van Fagron zit aan T4 en T3 resp. 23.7 en 9 ug per tablet. " (tablettene)

"De volgende hoeveelheden van T4 en T3 zit in de capsules van de rivierenapotheek. Dit is hetzelfde gebleven ten opzichte van de vorige bulk grondstof.

In de capsules van 60 mg zit 25,4 mcg T4 en 9 mcg T3.
In de capsules van 30 mg zit 12,7 mcg T4 en 4,5 mcg T3.
In de capsules van 15 mg zit 6,35 mcg T4 en 2,25 mcg T3 "

Her om Thyroid USP:
"The ratios for 1x USP Thyroid and 3X USP Thyroid will be the same as I stated for Full Strength, typically 3.9 to 4.43. The USP allows higher or lower. Ideal numbers are as follows:

1X USP T4 = 38 ug/gr T3 = 9 ug/gr (Ratio 4.22)

3x USP T4 = 114 ug/gr T3 = 27 ug/gr (Ratio 4.22)
"
(10%opp eller ned er innenfor USP slik som for andre medisiner)

"Berekening is toch niet moeilijk, Irma.
In 1 gram (= 1000 mg) zit dit jaar 399 ug t4 en 136 ug t3.

Dus voor T4 is de som (60 x 399) : 1000 =
23.94 ug T4 in 60 mg caps.
En voor T3 is het sommetje (60 x 136) : 1000 =
8.16 ug T3 in 60 mg. caps. "
(det er forskjellig mengde t4 og t3 hvert år i pulveret fra Danmark. Alt er som kjent analysert slik at man vet hva styrken er.
Thyroid USP kan ha litt forskjellig sammensetning også:
"a. USP XXl specification: 8.1 to 9.9 mcg/65mg (1 grain) b. USP specification: 32.3 to 43.7mcg/65mg (1 grain) c.Lot 1516; 1-grain, tablets. d. pharmaceutical basics, Inc e. reference 3" fra armourinfo sin side
