Suggest Dosage For Armour Thyroid

default
Posted on Wed, 12 Apr 2017
Question: I take 120mg of Armour Thyroid a day and ran out during a long trip. I have not taken it for 6 days. Am home now and picked up the refill. I am constantly straving and have a sick stomach. How should I go back on the 120 mg, a whole one or start with half for a few days?

Thank you! Marla

May restart with whole

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Since the gap is only 6 days, you may restart with the full dose of 120. I don't think it will cause any problems.

Hope this helps. I will be available for further follow up if required.
