A member asked:
My dr recommends i should chew my armour thyroid every morning. is this what you recommend for patients? if not what form of ingestion do u prescribe?

Synthroid (thyroxine): Chewing the pill is not necessary. In my opinion, brand name Synthroid (thyroxine) is the best thyroid replacement. An endocrinologist can answer in more detail.
