Roni,

" The Law is an ass. " at least as far as practicing medicine. Medicare

only approves the one least expensive of the generics.

Thanks, Sam.

If you end up having to purchase Armour, just to let you know how not

expensive it is, my 11+ grains per month would only cost $67 at any

CostCo pharmacy. Certainly purchasing less than 330 one grain pills

per month should be far less expensive. If I remember correctly, 100

one grain pills was something like $25 at the Wal-Mart pharmacy, but

the CostCo pharmacy is generally less expensive than the Wal-Mart

one, at least in Bellingham.

Just to note, I believe 3, 4, and 5 grain tabs of Armour are still on

back order, and may not be available, but 1 and 2 grain tabs are

still available and any pharmacy should carry it. The other word on

generic Armour (Qualitest by ime Caps labs) has had a number of

recalls associated with potency issues.
