Armour Thyroid…Where Has it Gone?

admin — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:25:29 +0000

Armour Thyroid, where has it gone? All of the dessicated thyroid products have all of the sudden disappeared from the market place. All of the drug manufacturer’s who have made these products in the past no longer have the raw materials to work with. What is the patient to do? We were very lucky to purchase a large quantity of product. Since we are a compounding pharmacy we have the expertise to customize this product into any strength the patient might need.

If and when our supplies do run out we will still be able to customize any T3/T4 combination you might need. Since we have the ability to purchase bulk materials of T3/T4 we are looking forward to being able to fulfill the patients needs as we move forward.
