Armour by Actavis?

6 Replies

Has anyone taken Armour since it was taken over by Actavis? I have seen some worrying comments in US forums where people seem ever more unhappy with it now than before...even suggesting that Actavis changed it again to something even less effective...???

thecat, I had a cursory Google and found nothing to suggest Actavis have reformulated but lots of speculation about whether they might. I saw one comment saying Oct 14 batch wasn't as good as Feb 14 batch, but nothing to suggest it was due to reformulation.

I've just got my 1 grain Armour tablets a couple of weeks ago. Was previously taking 2 x 1/2 grain and doing not too bad/sometimes pretty well. Been cutting the 1 grain in half (so still 2 x 1/2 grain) and after 1 week feel as if I'm going downhill and need to take more. Maybe a coincidence but maybe not.
