Armour Thyroid: Usually patients are converted to T4 (synthroid, levothroid, etc) because even though you are taking levothyroxine which is t4, some of that is converted to T3 (liothyronine) in the body. It's is best to check with your endocrinologist to determine the best thyroid replacement for you.
