Hi Gimel. I have been diagnosed with Hashimotos. I am looking for Armour thyroid medication in Mumbai. I have been taking levothyroxine and I am on a gluten free diet but my symptoms haven’t reduced though my antibodies have significantly reduced since I went on the gluten free diet. Can you kindly let me know where I can get Armour thyroid in Mumbai? Also, is it safe to take this without consulting a doctor since most doctors don’t seem to recommend it and insist I use T4 though I don’t see any change in symptoms

Many people take synthetic T4 and T3 instead of desiccated types like Armour.  The main concern for you switching would be to get the right doses.  Each grain of Armour contains 39 mcg of T4 and 9 mcg of T3.  So 2.75 grains of Armour would contain 107 mcg of T4 and about 25 mcg of T3.  Since that is the dose you have switched to, it should be no problem.   What are your latest test results for Free T4 and Free T3?

While we are talking, have you been tested for Vitamin D, B12 and ferritin?  If so, what are your levels for those as well?

Hi Gimel.
Thanks for your quick response. I was taking 2.75 grains of Armour per day and I was feeling better with that. However. due to some supply constraints, I'll not be able to arrange armour for a week. So, I'm taking synthetic T3 [25 µg] and T4 [106.25 µg] .

I have T3 [Liothyronine Sodium by Uni-Pharma] and T4 [Thyroxine Sodium] tablets available with me.

Can you please guide, if this is OK to replace Desiccated Hormone by synthetic for a week or two.

Will it bring any symptoms? Do I need to take any precautions while taking synthetic hormone? Will my hair fall restart?

Please guide?

Its difficult to get desiccated thyroid in India. Anyway if you have international credit card then you can order online from sites which support shipping to India. I am sending you a site link which ships some desiccated ones at cheap rates when compared with armour thyroid to India and other countries. You need a paypal account and credit or debit card which can be linked with paypal account. Most credit cards available in India not able to buy goods from outside India that's why mentioned.
