Common Questions and Answers about Armour thyroid with no prescription

Avatar n tn Perhaps the Armour is putting too much strain on your adrenals. Adrenal dysfunction must be addressed first before thyroid dysfunction is addressed. Situations like this should be monitored closely by your doctor/endocrinologist who may have to test you for adrenal fatigue/insufficiency. If this is not ruled out, then depression, anxiety, irritability and all the symptoms of adrenal fatigue will wreak havoc.
Avatar f tn There is a risk with consuming raw animal products. (There is no risk, however, with contracting the swine flu from using meds like Armour.
Avatar f tn Many people have had great luck if not better luck on Armour Thyroid. I understood this to be natural Thyroid but somehow pharmaceutical grade. While it is derived from pig thyroid, the variability I think seems less than many would fear. I'm not sure if "raw" Thyroid is OTC, but my understanding is that Armour Thyroid required a prescription.
Avatar f tn i was on natural thyroid from Thailand but heard armour thyroid formula change back to how they used to have it. i have been taking the armour for 3 months and i feel aweful. is anyone else having these issues or should i just switch back to the thailand one?
Avatar f tn Can I take armour thyroid with food or must it be taken with an empty stomach? What would be the determining factor for prescribing armour thyroid vs synthroid (and maybe cytomel)? I appreciate your help very much. It seems like it has taken forever to get the right dosage and help.
1554612 tn?1294410935 Are you looking for Armour thyroid medication? You would have to get a prescription from your doctor, then get the medication from your pharmacy. I see you are in Ireland; I'm not sure it's available there.
Avatar m tn are thyroid T3 medications, natrual or symtheyc, sucj as Armour, Nature-Thyroid, available pnly with prescrtpion in the US or can they be bought ovet the counter? I live in Guatemala, need them and anc can't get them with or without prescription.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the info! i was planning on taking just 1/4 of the armour still keeping my t4 the same, just to see how i feel for the first week. Then maybe cut my synthroid in half the second week and take 1/2 of the armour. Does that sound about right for now just to gradually convert, i was assuming that i would have to have some synthroid with the armour, but maybe not. I'll see how it goes.
Avatar m tn Hi all, I was wondering if someone could message me with a reliable source of Nature Thyroid or Armour without a Prescription. I've been taking Levo for many years and it's just not working for me. TSH is still out of range.
Avatar n tn Please help me. I have been on armour thyroid for 30 years. Have done well with it. Four months ago, I started having severe symptoms . I really need some answers. If you have any suggestions for me, please get intouch with me.
458072 tn?1291415186 I am very close with them working on getting past this shortage and really - they seem very sincere in helping desiccated thyroid patients with getting the right med. They know what Armour did to thousands and do not plan on changing anything. Looking back now with my desiccated usage for meds - I found RLC's thyroid much better than Armour ever was. only my thoughts - but I believe in them entirely.
Avatar n tn Please see my post about problems with Forest regarding Armour Thyroid, which they also had production problems with. I am considering filing a lawsuit. They may be getting these meds from overseas.
Avatar f tn I had my thyroid taken out in May this year. I was on synthetic but now am just starting on Armour. My thyroidectomy was due to suspicious cytology. Definitive diagnosis is difficult by needle aspiration and surgery is needed in some situations to be able to pin down a correct diagnosis. In my case, the thyroid was totally filled up with nodules so there wasn't much of it functioning anyway so they just took it out. I did fine. The surgery was as easy as one could imagine...
Avatar f tn ve been taking Armour thyroid for about 10 years now, my most recent labs show my TSH as hyperthyroid with the T4 and T3 normal range and he lowered my dose but I feel awful! I have extreme fatigue, crying at the drop of a hat, dry skin, hair failling out, memory fog. No idea what is going on? I've been on a lower dose for 4 weeks now, I felt better before he lowered my dose. Any ideas?I'm on 120 mg of Armour except one day a week I don't take anything.
Avatar n tn I read someware on About Thyroid, someone wrote about "FDA conspieracy" to make All dessicated thyroid not work by forcing North American Labs (whatever the porcine powder company name is) to change their manufacturing process. This person claimed that the powder is now frozen, thus altering its activness making it knowingly non as effective.? Really?
Avatar m tn "Biotics Research...glandular products are prepared strictly from USDA inspected bovine and porcine tissues and are certified BSE-free. GTA-Forte II contains 20 milligrams of porcine thyroid glandular (T3) along with 10 milligrams of zinc and I milligram of copper which are not present in GTA." We periodically are asked about supplements and their actual thyroid hormone content.
Avatar m tn I have been taking Armour thyroid with satisfactory results. Unfortunately, I can't find a pharmacy that has it in stock. My M.D. has suggested that I begin taking Synthroid and I am scared that my symptoms may return. I am taking 90mg of Armour and my prescription is for 150mcg of Synthroid. If I have no choice and must change, how do you suggest I make the change.
Avatar m tn re supposed to feel like during the first few days of taking dessicated thyroid? And has anyone else taken Armour with euthyroid Hashimoto's?
971640 tn?1247790839 Do you know how I can get Armour thyroid online? I have no prescription and am in Istanbul going to Bali in a week. Indonesia. Please help. I'm almost out.
Avatar m tn In the USA at least, all hormones including thyroid hormone(s) T4 (Synthroid) and T3 (Cytomel) and Any natural desiccated thyroid med like Armour require doctor Prescription. To dose thyroid you absolutely need to be tested for at a minimum Free T4 and Free T3 tests. Typically people need to be at least in the middle of the reference range for BOTH thyroid hormones if not a bit higher int he range.
Avatar f tn First - thyroid supplementation is for an underactive thyroid, bot an overactive thyroid. Both Armour Thyroid and levothyroxine are thyroid supplements - levothyroxine is T4, which is the form of hormone produced by the thyroid gland, and which is converted to the active T3 form. Armour Thyroid contains both T4 and T3. Some patients don't seem to convert T4 to T3 quite the way they should and this may explain why some feel better on Armour Thyroid.
Avatar f tn The ingredient is Thyroid Extract USP powder which is the same thyroid extract used in Armour Thyroid tablets. A compounding pharmacist makes up the prescription in store. I could see the powder through the clear capsule.
