Guest guest Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Has anyone in here heard of the generic form of Armour? I found out today they make it from my pharmacy. I wonder if it is close to the Armour. It is $12. for 90 and the Armour is $20. I didn't chance it, I went ahead and bought the Armour. I had to do without any thyroid meds this morning as I had ran out and had trouble with the pharmacy not filling the prescription a few days ago. My medicaid usually pays for it, but wouldn't cause I got my other 7 meds at 3 months supply at once and medicaid said I reached my limit. So when the 3 month supplies run out I am going back to one month supply on all 8. That way they all get covered by medicaid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 There is no legal generic for Armour. There were some other cheaper brands that are no longer being made: TimeCap Labs, Major, and Qualitest. Your pharmacy may still have some of those. Some insurance companies consider NatureThroid to be a generic, and it is usually cheaper than Armour. If you are forced to self-pay, you can always call around for prices. You are not married to that one pharmacy. I have found the best prices at Target and Sam's, and sometimes Tom Thumb. >> Has anyone in here heard of the generic form of Armour?
