Do not take Armour Thyroid if you have uncorrected adrenal cortical insufficiency, untreated thyrotoxicosis, or a known hypersensitivity to thyroid hormone preparations.
Use caution if you have heart disease, angina, coronary artery disease, or if you are elderly, as thyroid hormone therapy may worsen underlying cardiovascular conditions. Thyroid hormones should not be used for weight loss. Larger-than-recommended doses may cause serious or life-threatening toxicity.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have diabetes, as thyroid therapy may affect blood sugar control. Inform your provider if you take anticoagulants, estrogen or oral contraceptives, or bile acid sequestrants such as cholestyramine or colestipol, as dose adjustments may be required.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is close to your next scheduled dose. Do not double doses. In case of suspected overdose or severe symptoms, seek emergency medical attention.
This prescription may be issued via telemedicine. Contact your prescribing clinician immediately or seek emergency care if you experience severe or concerning symptoms.
