Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Is Thyrolar like synthroid or the other synthetics, but just another 'brand' name?? I wonder too why they think it's worth charging more for..unless t's the " It's new so costs more " idiotic mentality.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 It's synthetic T3 and T4 and is a great alternative for those who, for religious reasons, or other personal reasons, will not take Armour. It's made by the same pharmaceutical. Janie > Is Thyrolar like synthroid or the other synthetics, but just another > 'brand' name?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 So basically Thyrolar and Synthroid are the same, but different brand names? I never thought about it from a religious standpoint. Interesting thought!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 No, Synthroid has no T3 Thyrolar does. That is the biggest an most important difference. Synthroid cannot get the same good results as Thyrolar or Armour because of the absence of T3 Patti : ) Re: COMPARING ALL MEDS So basically Thyrolar and Synthroid are the same, but different brand names?

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Good question. Could be the way it is made. It's like a 2 coloured tablet. One side is a colour the other is white. So instead of mixing the T3 and T4 it's like they pressed 2 tablets together.
