Armour Thyroid, also known as desiccated (dried) thyroid, is a combination of hormones that are normally produced by your body to help regulate energy levels and metabolism. This medication replaces those missing hormones in people who aren\u2019t able to produce them naturally in their thyroid gland.<\/p>\n","accordion_content":"","accordion_more_text":"See more","accordion_less_text":"See less"},{"accordion_title":"What are the uses for Armour Thyroid?","accordion_intro":"

Armour Thyroid is prescribed to treat hypothyroidism \u2014 an underactive thyroid \u2014 by replacing the hormones your body isn’t making enough of. It can also be used to treat or prevent goiters (an enlarged thyroid gland) and as part of a treatment plan for certain types of thyroid cancer, at the provider\u2019s discretion.<\/p>\n","accordion_content":"","accordion_more_text":"See more","accordion_less_text":"See less"},{"accordion_title":"How do you use Armour Thyroid?","accordion_intro":"

Armour Thyroid is a tablet taken by mouth, typically once daily on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before your first meal of the day. Your healthcare provider will determine the correct dosage for you based on your specific health needs and lab results.<\/p>\n","accordion_content":"","accordion_more_text":"See more","accordion_less_text":"See less"},{"accordion_title":"What are the side effects and risks of Armour Thyroid?","accordion_intro":"

Side effects from Armour Thyroid are uncommon at the correct dose but can occur if your dose is too high, leading to symptoms of an overactive thyroid. These can include a fast heart rate, nervousness, shakiness, or trouble sleeping. It’s important to note that Armour Thyroid should never be used for weight loss, as this can lead to dangerous, life-threatening heart problems.<\/p>\n","accordion_content":"","accordion_more_text":"See more","accordion_less_text":"See less"},{"accordion_title":"Is Armour Thyroid better than levothyroxine (Synthroid)?","accordion_intro":"

Neither medication is definitively ‘better’ \u2014 they just work differently. Levothyroxine is a synthetic hormone (T4) and is often the first choice for doctors because its dosage is very consistent. Armour Thyroid is a natural hormone from an animal source that contains both T3 and T4, which some patients feel works better for them. The best choice depends on your individual health and a discussion with a healthcare provider.<\/p>\n","accordion_content":"","accordion_more_text":"See more","accordion_less_text":"See less"},{"accordion_title":"Why might a doctor not prescribe Armour Thyroid?","accordion_intro":"

Many healthcare providers prefer prescribing synthetic thyroid hormones like levothyroxine because the amount of hormone in each tablet is standardized, ensuring consistent dosing. Because Armour Thyroid is derived from natural sources, the hormone ratio can vary slightly between batches, which makes it a second-line choice for many practitioners.<\/p>\n","accordion_content":"","accordion_more_text":"See more","accordion_less_text":"See less"}],"hero_subcopy":"Connect with a Canadian-licensed healthcare provider to see if Armour Thyroid\u00ae may be right for you.","why_h2":"Talk to a doctor online about Armour Thyroid medication","why_subcopy":"Speak with a Canadian-licensed provider today.

All the walk-in clinics are booked in my city for days. Can\u2019t even get a phone consultation. Signed up and communicated with a doctor almost immediately. Within an hour I had a prescription waiting at my local pharmacy. Great service.<\/blockquote>
