Active Ingredients
Thyroid USP
Nature-Throid™ Tablet is a full prescription,
officially monographed United States Pharmacopeia (as
Thyroid USP) medications for treatment of
hypothyroidism. They are natural preparations derived
from porcine thyroid glands (T3 liothyronine is
approximately four times as potent as T4 levothyroxine
on a microgram for microgram basis) and provide
standardized, guaranteed potency of 38 mcg
levothyroxine (T4) and 9 mcg liothyronine (T3) for
each 65 mg (1 Grain) of the labeled content of
thyroid.
Thyroid USP has been frequently referred to as Natural
Desiccated Thyroid (NDT) with NDT treatment being
introduced towards end of the 19th century. However,
unlike the NDT treatment at its beginning, USP (United
States Pharmacopeia) has established specific
standards on the presence of T3 and T4 hormones among
others to classify this ingredient under full
prescription status.
Currently, there are desiccated animal glandulars
within the Dietary or Nutraceutical status indicated
as a Thyroid Gland, for example. However, this is not
to be confused with the USP designation. Only the USP
monographed ingredient adheres to full pharmaceutical
purity and standardization on the consistency of the
hormones along with full pre and post testing
procedures associated with quality prescription
products. All NON-USP glandulars have natural
fluctuation and variances of hormones making any
consistent therapeutic values difficult to control. |
