I am trying to find out about this drug. I have a new patient taking this and I am not sure what its side affects are?

Armor Thyroid are synthetic thyroid tablets ingested orally to provide T3 and T4 thyroid hormones and treat hypothyroidism, which is an under-active thyroid.

The inactive ingredients in Armor Thyroid are: Calcium stearate, dextrose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate and opadry white.

The following side effects are uncommon, but none the less, very serious:

Allergic reactions (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives)

Vomiting
Chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or shortness of breath.


More common, less serious side effects include:

Tremor, nervousness, or irritability
Headache,
Insomnia.
Diarrhea, changes in appetite, or weight loss,
Leg cramps
Menstrual irregularities
Fever, sweating, or heat sensitivity.

NOTE: Side effects other than the ones listed here may occur. I am not an MD but If you do experience any side effects I think it would be best to contact your doctor or whom ever prescribes it.


If you have any more questions or information to add, please post back so I can further assist you.
