Important information about liotrix and desiccated natural thyroid including Armour Thyroid® shortage
 

There is a nationwide shortage of porcine-derived desiccated thyroid and liotrix. Supplies of these products are now limited and we are uncertain about continued availability. Ask your doctor if a synthetic thyroid medication, such as levothyroxine is right for you. Remember, it is important not to stop taking your medication without first discussing it with your prescriber.

If you have any questions, please call the 800 number on your prescription label to speak to one of our pharmacists.
