I have been on Armour since 2001. I was prescribed 60MG twice daily. On April 29, 2009, I filled my prescription LOT #030915. Since then I have returned to my pre-Armour condition. The new prescription evidently has a very low dose, or a bad patch. I have gone to another Pharm. to no avail. I am now suffering as I did prior to beginning Armour. The different strengths are subject to mix-ups??? Are the personnel that fill the prescriptions treating everyone the same??

I have a question. I live in the UK, and have over the last few weeks switched from thyroxine to armour. I had a recurrence of symptoms until I upped my dose to 4 grains, and so far I’m really feeling the benefit!

My question is — will it be OK for me to buy 4 grain tablets from the States — I’m concerned about import taxes, since a bottle of 100 pills would be over $100 and I’m afraid that it might be confiscated if the value is too high. ??? Otherwise I’ll just carry on buying 1 grain tablets…

I daren’t ask anyone else because I’m so afraid to start alarm bells ringing!

Thank you.

Great information! I hope to switch to Armour from T3/T4 compounded — I need something different since I am not feeling good enough. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in August 2006, and am still not feeling good. SO glad that Armour is available now in more doses again.

I LOVE your website/blog! Great work! I can relate to so many of the horror stories I have read here. Now I will be looking for a new doctor if my MD will not give me Armour tomorrow. My naturopath is refusing to prescribe Armour because she says it is not stable enough. I don’t believe her.
