Hi Mo - go to www.tpa-uk.org.uk

and click 'Hypothyroidism' and then in the drop down Menu, click 'Nutrition and

Supplements' you will find the list you are looking for there.

Fiona This topic has been on my mind the last

few days and I have been wondering if there is a list somewhere that could tell

us what can and cannot be prescribed in terms of supplements anyway.

Hi Fiona

I think ubiquitone has only fairly recently become available on prescription and I would think that its not something that is prescribed very often yet so likely not to be in stock.

Gill

To be fair the GP hapilly prescribed the Selenium that was recommended by the consultant recently, so you never know. What surprised me with that was that the pharmacy have had to fax a request as it's something not in stock. I am wondering if it would be the same for Q10 that most people who take it, buy it rather than have it prescribed.I am sure from what you say Co Q 10 is the one to push for if possible.

Hi Judy

Id be interested to know what your daughter was diagnosed with and whether it was diagnosed by someone other than Dr M before she saw Dr M - please email me privately if you prefer. Im trying to figure out my answer which is why I ask and wonder if its CF or FMS ?

thanks,

Gill

on the recommendation of Dr M, my daughter is prescribed by her GP, Q10 (she was tested for mitochondria function) Vitamin B12 and magnesium injections, Creon (Pancreatic digestive enzyme)Prednisolone and a sleeping tablet.

Hi Mo - the list you are looking for is the British National Formulary - it is available on line at www.bnf.org and you can register free and access it as a patient. Its a bit of a faff on line though but you do get used to it!

Gill

I had a look there Sheila at a list of supplements - what I am looking for specifically is THE list that GPs have telling them what they are allowed to prescribe supplements-wise and what they are not.Such a list would probably contain guidelines for max amounts etc?

It is very expensive so GP's would do everything they can to

avoid having to prescribe it in the quantities/dosages we need.

It's best to keep such a discussion on the forum Gill and Judy

as we are all interested in this topic.

Nutri West Adreno Lyth-80 (not Lymph) I believe is

equivalent to Nutri Adrenal. Nutri Adrenal Extra is more potent than Adrenal

Lyth-80 (or Nutri Adrenal). You can get 33% off Nutri Adrenal and Nutri

Adrenal Extra as a member of TPA-UK.

Sorry Sheila can you run that pass me again I'm

not too sure what you are recommending.
