Armour thyroid pills broken to dust

[Confoozled]

Hi

Has anyone else had this problem? Many of my pills have turned to dust in the bottom of the bottle.

The bottle has not been shaken or unduly moved. And they were whole when they arrived.

I'm going to have to work out how to take the dust I think? 🤔 😔 It's about £100 of medication.

Sorry but I have never had this problem ever but in case it helps, are you keeping it in a cool, dry place, away from heat and moisture and out of direct sunlight and at a temperature of 25 degrees or under (but not in the fridge)?

Yes I am. I've never seen this either.

Oh Dear that's really puzzling and annoying and I am at a loss as to what to suggest other than maybe e-mailing the company or pharmacy who supplied them to you - perhaps you could emphasise the fact that they are extremely expensive and you aren't in a position to buy more. Really sorry I can't help😢

I have been taking Armour for at least 7 years, and they have never crumbled.

However my pills come in their original container from America and unopened. As you mention that yours are in a glass bottle , I assume they are transferred from the original plastic pot in the Pharmacy? . It could be that they may be in a warm area there. Plus are you given the expiry date on the bottle. It should be quite a fair way in advance

My latest pots have Oct 23 on them.

I hope you can get your problem sorted,
