Re: im from uk any international pharmacys i can buy from without prescription 

Hi Bluebell,

If you look in the LDN section, you will see threads on how to mix Naltrexone tablets with distilled water. However, my PERSONAL recommendation is to get it compounded at a compounding pharmacy for accuracy. The tablets that can be bought in Canada and Europe (and elsewhere) were never really designed to be mixed in water to divy into 3 - 4.5 mg, but is a last ditch method if you can't get it compounded. 

LDN was originally produced in larger doses (50 mg tablets) for treatment of drug/alcohol addiction (in 50-300 mg doses), not for treating various autoimmune diseases in doses of 1.5 - 10 mg. It can be prescribed as an off-label drug (used for a reason other than what it was originally designed for) by a doctor. The problem is, most doctors don't know about recent studies and research into LDN for other uses or might feel uncomfortable even with a negligible amount of LDN in thyroid disease which has not yet had a trial -- whereas MS has had more extenstive studies as well as a more rampant grassroots movement among patients.

We have some Hashi's members here who take LDN -- I hope they will see your thread and reply. Don't forget to read the newsletters and browse the forum and survey for more information.

Hi bluebell,

Welcome to AHSTA.

I too am from the UK.

I bought mine from River Pharmacy (Canada but it's dispatched from India) I make my own up, Just as Val described in her reply to you,  if you can find a good doctor who will prescribe LDN for you and monitor you on it I would advise that..I wasn't able too, you may have more luck. If not then that is the next best thing making your own.

Lolly
