Three tablets of Thiroyd will be roughly equivalent (the Thiroyd contains approximately 8% less active ingredients).

Thank you SmallBlueThing

hector12 Can I clarify: have you been taking a total of 90mg Armour (ie a 60 and a 30?)

Oh okay, so a total of 3 grain. In which case I'd agree with SmallBlueThing and swap to 3 Thiroyd as you're simply moving between NDTs.

One 60mg pill of Thiroyd is one grain.

I would take slightly less than a straight swap and titrate like you did when you started and get tested when you think you have been on the 'correct' dose for a while.

Not what you're looking for?
