Suggest you look at the prescribing information for the product - for example, Armour:

But there is no clear and formal equivalence between desiccated thyroid and levothyroxine.

Thank you.

Do you know what happens to NDT if you store it at 5C? It says 15-30C but I’ve been keeping it in the fridge 🙄
