A member asked:
What is best alternative to armour thyroid to treat both t3 (liothyronine) and t4? i received ra twice in past for graves disease, so am now very hypothyroid.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
