Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Bev I took the Armour Generic for three years... it was simply called " thyroid " at walgreens and walmart and was half the price of Armour. It looked different too from what I take now which is the brand, not the generic. m bev <bdowns45681@...> wrote: What are you referring to when you say Armour 1 grain 60 mg. $9.46 generic $8.32.???

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 You must talking about something else because if there was a generic that's what I would be taking because my insurance would only pay for generic if there is a generic & I get brand name.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I know my insurance always required generic so I called Walgreens to confirm this just now. It is called " Thyroid " on my old bottles and it is the listed generic for Armour thyroid. Just two weeks ago, I switched to the actual Armour. There was not a major price difference two weeks ago as there was in 2005 when I started it but my endo wanted me on Armour Thyroid instead of the generic. I actually saw my DR today and asked if perhaps there was a difference in how they were made and that could be what is up me not feeling the same on this newer drug. He concluded that some people don't do as well on the generic as they do the actual Armour Thyroid. So who knows? I took what they tell me at Walgreens and per my Dr from Jan 2005 until two weeks ago, a generic " Armour Thyroid " called " thyroid " .. it was cheap.... and it does look different than my " official " armour. The price difference for me was only about $2 two weeks ago so maybe that is why my new insurance did not fight me on it.... this time... who knows.... with the way my former Dr's treated my thyroid ...they could have been full of it! ha ha I would inquire at your local pharmacy.. I found them more helpful than the docs... http://thyroid.about.com/cs/drugdatabase/f/armour.htm Bev <bdowns45681@...> wrote: You must talking about something else because if there was a generic that's what I would be taking because my insurance would only pay for generic if there is a generic & I get brand name.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 there is a generic and it is not as good/potent as Armour. Armour has an " A " on it.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 wow that may explain why I am feeling much different on Armour and needed a lower dose? I mean I feel like I took a whole new drug!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 there are no " side effects " to a hormone the body needs. Either you need a different dose, or need adrenal support/meds in order to take the right dose. Sometimes taking Armour sublingually makes a difference. IMO your dose of Armour is too low, something isn't quite right. Gracia wow that may explain why I am feeling much different on Armour and needed a lower dose?

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 i have read several times about the difference in the generic and the brand armour and from that i would suggest that armour is more potent. renee > > > there are no " side effects " to a hormone the body needs.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I saw a bottle of pills that had " bovine thyroid " in it yesterday. Has anyone tried this and is it any good? The cost was about $8 which i'd gladly pay if it worked. Thanks. > > there is a generic and it is not as good/potent as Armour.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 it is a glandular, it isn't medicine. it might help a little. I take a glandular called thytrophin from Standard Process, plus 240mg Armour, plus 50 MG iodine/iodide. Gracia Gracia I saw a bottle of pills that had " bovine thyroid " in it yesterday. Has anyone tried this and is it any good? The cost was about $8 which i'd gladly pay if it worked.
