A member asked:
Are hot flashes after taking armour a bad side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid replacement: Thyroid hormone replacement should make you feel better, and not give you side effects. The T3 (liothyronine) and other bovine stuff in armour may be responsible for your hot flashes. You should be on levothyroxine.
