Armor Thyroid

[scotthenry]

Update 8-21-10.....Armour thyroid is available in most strengths now. Some patients do better on our compounded version and have fewer allergies, but the copay can sometimes be quite high, so we will gladly change you back to the Brand if you would like. Scott Henry, Pharm.D.

Lima's Professional Pharmacy is once again providing a necessary therapeutic medication with the recent shortage of Armour™ Thyroid, as well as other brands in the United States. We have secured a large quantity of the same raw material as has been used in the commercial products. Our Natural Glandular Dessicated Porcine Powder USP, has the ratio of T3T4 that is recognized as the standard for natural thyroid replacement therapy.

Ask about our “Certificate of Analysis” from our suppliers should you or your provider require documentation

Our compounded capsules are available in all the strengths from ¼ grain (15mg) up to 5 grain (300mg). A few of our patients require special formulas taking into consideration unique requirements for their needs. Ask our compounding pharmacist as to available options for your specialized formulation. Our use of Avicel™(microcrystalline cellulose) as the filler in our capsules, is recognized to have better absorption characteristics and is the preferred method for compounded natural thyroid.

In addition to the Natural Glandular Thyroid, we compound many formulas of synthetic T3T4, both in immediate release and sustained release formulations. Your health care provider may have a need to utilize a very specific ratio of T3T4 in order to meet your unique requirements. Our raw material for this type of formulation has been analyzed by an independent laboratory to assure you of the exact potency of your preparation. Ask our compounding pharmacist about this important quality control measure

To your health, Scott Henry, Pharm.D.
