Hi,

I’ve recently been put on Armour having been on T3 only for years snd never feeling right. So I went private and was prescribed 1 grain of Armour twice a day and to go gluten free.

My latest results before starting the Armour

TSH 10.76 ( this has jumped up from 1.7 6 months ago

FT4 <3.2 it’s always this as only take T3

FT3 3.6 this has dropped from 6.1 6 months ago

B12 612

My question is, where do people get their Armour Thyroid from please?

Please inbox me as I’ve just paid £120 for 100 1 grain tablets and I’m hoping that someone will tell me I can source them for less. Especially if I need to up the dose as this is just the starting dose..

many thanks

ThyroidUK has a page on their website with information about pharmacies who can supply Armour with a prescription. You could ring round to compare prices:

It would be cheaper to be prescribed 2 grains, and use a pill cutter to halve them; but unless you are wedded to having Armour instead of another brand of NDT, the others are far cheaper.
