A member asked:
Should i take synthroid (thyroxine) for hypothyroidism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You will NEVER: Be balanced w/armour thyroid as it's ground up pig and not standardized on the basis of thyroid content. You can't check levels with available tests at the lab. It contains t3 (liothyronine) which can be dangerous. Use only brand name T4 replacement, it's better and safer.
