A member asked:
I have hashimoto tsh 8 normal t3, t4. where i live levothryxine is most often used medication for my condition.are there other medications i can use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Armour thyroid and liothyronine. Armour thyroid is made from desiccated pig thyroids. It is not considered the first choice, but some individuals feel better with this product. Secondly, thyroxine T4 is metabolized to T3 or liothyronine, and if the body has a problem with this metabolic step, then T3 or liothyronine is an alternative.
