What is DTE — and why does it matter?
Desiccated Thyroid Extract (DTE) is a natural thyroid medicine that has been used for decades. For many patients with hypothyroidism, synthetic medications alone don’t relieve symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, brain fog, or depression. DTE offers a trusted alternative that balances T4, T3, and other thyroid hormones in a way that works better for thousands of patients.
⚠️ What’s happening now:
The FDA is moving to reclassify DTE as a biologic. This change could:
• ❌ Eliminate access to compounded DTE
• ❌ Remove a critical option for providers
• ❌ Leave patients stuck with fewer, less effective choices
👥 Who will this affect?
• Patients who rely on DTE when other meds fail
• Providers who need options to individualize care
• Families already struggling with access & cost of treatment
We can stop this. Your voice matters.
