All medications have risks, so the question of whether or not it’s safe is only a piece of the issue that she’s probably really wondering. She’s probably also wondering, is this the best medication for her particular condition?

Synthroid is the most common thyroid prescription, and as practitioners, we get a little bit married to our particular way of doing it. Many doctors, they prescribe Synthroid. Many natural practitioners want to prescribe Armour. Someone else might think that the compounded, made-by-your-pharmacist T3 combination is the best.

And the truth is that there’s no perfect medication for every person with Hashimoto’s. Especially with Hashimoto’s, you get people sensitive to different binders and fillers, so they might do fine on a particular generic of Synthroid, they might not. They might need more of the T3, which is where things like Armour come in handy.
