Guest guest Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I've been offline for awhile -- and well-stocked on my beloved Armour. Now, all of a sudden, pharmacies can't get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Scary isn't it? My doc finally agreed to put me on 1/2 grain Armour the 4th of Feb. (I had been on 's therapy meds, and doing very well, but I just couldn't afford it.) Anyway....he upped it to 1 grain yesterday. When I went to Wal Mart to fill my script they wanted to know if 30gms were ok instead of the 60s as " they were having trouble getting it. " YIKES! I'm with you....where DO you get Armour on line? Me thinks I'll try to " stock up. " Becky >Now, all of a sudden, pharmacies can't get it?< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the shortage would've been over with *last* summer.<<<< Hi - me again...I'm scrolling thru Digest Mode and didn't read the article yet so I missed that year/date, but can vouch for having just now experienced something of a 'shortage' of Armour through my big bulk pharmacy Caremark myself and am not too happy about it...being suddenly without my thyroid support with no warning. ugh......... Ritzy RE: Re: Armour shortage??? An explanation of the shortage can be found at the following URL. http://thyroid.about.com/b/a/080895.htm To summarize, there was a production problem with another T3/T4 pill. In response, doctors have switched patients to Armour. This resulted in demand exceeding supply. From the article, it should improve by mid to late summer.
