Hashimoto's : I consider Armour Thyroid a very safe drug. It has been used for decades. 30mg is half a grain. It is next to the lowest dose you can get. Thyroid hormone dosing varies a lot. It needs to be personalized to you and your response.

Safe, but..: It is save, but most doctors use levothyroxine instead of pig thyroid extract (Armour). As stated, Armour contains a mixture of thyroid hormones. Levothyroxine is T4, which is naturally converted in your body to T3 (liothyronine) for a more even response. People who take Armour often get a low grade hyperthyroidism, which takes a toll later in life.
