What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

  • Before you begin taking Armour Thyroid, inform your doctor of the following: 
  • All the medications you take
  • Your allergies
  • Your medical history and current health problems
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Elderly patients and patients with chest pain or patients who are at risk for heart disease should use Armour Thyroid cautiously. 
  • Patients with diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, or adrenal cortical insufficiency should use Armour Thyroid cautiously.

Armour Thyroid side effects are not very common; however, high doses can lead to hyperthyroidism.

If you experience bothersome or persistent side effects, contact your doctor.
