What is ndt for thyroid?

My sister has been struggling with her thyroid levels for a while, and a friend suggested she ask her doctor about 'NDT for thyroid'. What is NDT and how is it different from other thyroid treatments?

Beta, NDT is Natural Desiccated Thyroid. It's an older type of medicine for underactive thyroid. My sister-in-law used to take it many years ago. It has both T3 and T4 hormones. Doctors usually prescribe synthetic T4 now, but some people still prefer NDT. Just listen to what your doctor says.

I totally understand why you'd be asking about different thyroid meds. Dealing with thyroid issues can be so emotionally draining, and finding the right treatment is a journey. NDT is one option some people find helpful, but it's crucial to work with your doctor to see what's best for YOUR body and symptoms.

NDT is Natural Desiccated Thyroid, a type of thyroid hormone replacement. My daughter's endocrinologist had explained it to us once. It's derived from animals, containing T3 and T4. It's an alternative to synthetic medications, but the decision should always be made with a specialist. Make sure you get all your questions answered.

NDT is a thyroid medication, right? I ignored my thyroid symptoms for too long and it got pretty bad. Please, if you're asking about this, get your thyroid levels checked properly by a doctor. Don't self-medicate or just rely on internet info, it's not worth the risk. A proper diagnosis is key.

Haan, NDT thyroid ke liye medicine hai. Basically, yeh animal glands se banta hai aur isme T3 aur T4 dono hote hain. Modern medicines mein mostly sirf T4 hota hai. Jo bhi ho, apne doc se discuss karna pakka. Har kisi ko alag suit karta hai na.

NDT means Natural Desiccated Thyroid. It's a medication that comes from animal thyroid glands. While I usually lean towards natural ways, for something like thyroid, medication is often necessary. Always consult a good endocrinologist for proper dosage and type, don't just try things based on internet. They know best.
