How Effective Is Armour The Thyroid Drug?
I would like to know more about Armour the thyroid drug - does it have any side effects if the Prescription amount is too high? and if there is an undiagnosed problem with the pig(s) can that disease/issue become a problem for the human, me? Thank you but I have no money and no way of making a payment to you.

Hello, you need not worry about the money issue.
Armour is a porcine thyroid extract usually used for management of hypothyroidism.
i am not aware regarding the availability of armour and whether it is prescribed these days.
Transfer of pigs disease does not occur as it is purified thyroid hormone extracts.
consider using levothyroxine 75 or 100 mcg in the equivalent form which will help you.
