Dr. Michael E. Doyle: Conventional and Alternative Medicine

Forest Laboratories, Inc. has been producing and shipping a steady supply of the 1 grain (60 mg) and ½ grain (30 mg) dosage strengths of Armour Thyroid since February. As a result, these strengths are no longer on back-order. These two dosage strengths of Armour Thyroid can be used alone or in multiples to achieve common total daily dosage requirements.

Further, Forest Laboratories has begun producing additional dosage strengths. Since May we have shipped a limited supply of 1/4 grain (15 mg), 1.5 grain (90 mg), and 2 grain (120 mg) doses of Armour Thyroid. We continue to work diligently to provide additional supply in order to resolve the back-order of these and other Armour Thyroid dosage strengths.

If you have any questions about Armour Thyroid, please call the following toll-free hotline:

In the meantime, we encourage patients to speak with their physician regarding appropriate treatment for their condition.
