A member asked:
Is the natural medication for hypothyroidism (armour) a maoi?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Maoi = mono-amine oxidase inhibitor. This class of medication is intended to treat depression. Due to their many and severe interactions with other meds and food, they are rarely used any more. They are unrelated to thyroid hormone, either so-called "natural" armour, or synthetic levothyroxine.
