synthroid shelf life

Brand name drugs are held to a stricter requirement for the amount of active ingredient in each pill, and the shelf life of the active drug. Brand name drugs are allowed 5-10% +/- variation from what the label says to what the drug measures fresh and at end of shelf life. Generics are allowed a variation of 25%, plus or minus, and there is no guarantee that the pharmacy will stock the same generic from month to month.

How long is a urine specimen shelf life once collected for a cocaine test?

i know everyone says that its the hypothyroidism and not the meds but i swear i never had constipation a day in my life and 48 hrs after i began synthroid i had the worst constipation in my life! now i have learned to manage it with magnesium tablets and vitamin c every day and i don t have problems.

I have found that the synthetics only have a shelf of about 2-3 years, if that. But Armour has a shelf life of 17 years. Are the Raw thyroids sold on the internet a possibility for me also and are their shelf life as long? I take 120 mcg levothyroxine.

I went to my Endo two weeks after my GP and he said I needed meds and put me on .75mcgs of synthroid. Since then wich is two weeks ago I have felt miserable, depressed, gained 6 pounds completely bloated and moody. It was almost right away after the meds that I felt like this, my fear is that my thyroid is functioning normal now and that I am giving it medication and causing harm. I am seriously thinking of coming off the synthroid and seeing how it goes from there.

59 y.o. female been Hypothyroid for many years. Was prescribed Armour T., which helped for many years. Then was taken off because a doc said that it had "leached Calcium from my bones", resulting in my beyond beginning stages of osteoporosis. Synthroid did not work, Levothyroxin hasn't worked. Now here I am 5-6 yrs later & Endocrinologist did a sonogram two wks ago which revealed that I no longer have a Thyroid. That butterfly flew the coupe!

He gave me 6 months supply of my Synthroid because I go back in 6 months. He said the problem with thyroid patients is everything is blamed on the thyroid and there are other things that are being missed, like a person with heart palps. its blamed on the thyroid and before long that person is having a heart attack. UGH...I am just SO SICK of doctor hunting and not knowing which one is the right one....... Oh my TSH was 1.

Is Armour thryoid still available? My regular drugstore no longer carries it but a nearby drug store has it available in half size tablets (for Me). Both drugstores are in the same chain. Puzzling.

I have found that I am actually feeling better being maintained on Synthroid since my surgery vs. before and I was technically in the normal TSH range before! That is one benefit .. you get to tweek the meds to your optimum feeling good as long as it stays within the protocol for Cancer supression .. finding a good Endo that listens and works with you is the hardest chore ..... the rest takes a few mos ..

Looking at my box of Heartguard for dogs I see it has an expiration date on the box and on each individual tablet.

Here's what happened. I met up with a couple (gay) that I know. We messed around (all three of us) for a bit, then one left to go to sleep, leaving just two of us. My friend used a dildo on me, one of which he uses on his boyfriend. He did wash it, though I am not sure how, I just know that water was used, unsure if soap was.

You have to be on Synthroid the rest of your life if diagnosed with a type of hyPOthyroidism. I find it odd that you have not been diagnosed, though. Synthroid is dangerous and you shouldnt take it for anything other than thyroid disease.

I'm using Synthroid for weight loss and muscle growth whle training. Does anyone know - is it safe to buy Synthroid online in places like this? Too cheap and no prescription needed, so I'm not sure.

The blister packs are to optimize the freshness, as the shelf life has been purposely reduced by half. That is also why you are required to refrigerate the blister packs. Sunythetic T4 hormones in the US have not changed their shelf life, so the blister packs and refrigeration are not as much of an issue. And yes, If I could get those US manufactured pharmaceuticals cheaper by getting them from Mexico or Canada (who buy them from US companies at a reduced rate), I would be doing it.

As far as I know the syringe itself will not expire, but the rubber stopper on the syringe plunger may have a shelf life. If you have a bunch of syringes that are due to expire, I would recommend speaking with the manufacturer, they may be able to give you some insight on why the syringe has an expiration date. I hope this helps.

You can only take calcium vitamins or products containing calcium either 4 hours before taking synthroid or 4 hours after taking synthroid as the calcium will block the synthroid from absorbing.

How long have you been on Synthroid? What dose? Do you have recent labs to post? If so, please post with reference ranges which vary lab to lab and have to come from your own lab report. Have you been diagnosed with Hashi's or other cause of your hypo?

There's no reason not to cut thyroid tablets. I've done it a lot. T4 has a long half life and stays in your body for weeks. So, you don't have to take exactly the same dose every day (a weekly average is more important than an exact daily amount). If I were you, I'd split the 88 into four quarters (approximately 22 mcg each) and take one of those quarters every other day. That will give you an extra 11 per day, which will be 99 (very close to 100).

Did the doc mention the thyroid drug and level you will take? I am assuming Synthroid or Levo, since those seem to be the drugs of choice for most endos. Sometimes, you get the exact dosage you need. Sometimes, you don't. If, after a few weeks, you are too tired or too wired, then go to your endo and demand bloodwork. Many endos don't treat FT3 levels. They believe FT4 will convert to FT3 naturally by the body.

t know anything about that drug and I just want you to be safe when you get off of it. You see drugs like Methadone have a long shelf life in your system and take time to ween off. Drugs like my DOC, Vicodin doesn't have a long shelf life and is usually out of the body within 48-72 hours. I just don't know what category the drug your taking falls into. That's why you need more info. Can you get off this drug and have a clean life... ABSOLUTELY!!!

It's been a while but Jan was my 1yr check up since RAI. My TSH is very low .1 but oncologist didn't want to change my Synthroid. Has anyone ever had the Thryrogen shot? I will be having that in June? In the mean time I have been having some issues with swollen glands that get like golf balls? I had a CT scan of my neck and found I have stones in my submandibular gland, which the ENT thinks I should be able to secrete out.

There is an expiration date for a reason! Drugs like everything have a shelf life, the older they are, the more inneffective they become. Get the prescription renewed, refill...

My three farm cats have a long shelf around three sides of the room where they eat. One eats at the end of the shelf on one wall, one eats where the shelf turns the corner, and one eats at the other end of the shelf on the third wall. They like each other and never fight. Territory is everything.
