ARMOUR® THYROID (THYROID TABLETS, USP)
RX ONLY
REV. JUNE 2018
DESCRIPTION
Armour® Thyroid (thyroid tablets, USP)* for oral use is a natural
preparation derived
from porcine thyroid glands and has a strong, characteristic odor. (T3
liothyronine is
approximately four times as potent as T4 levothyroxine on a microgram
for microgram
basis.) They provide 38 mcg levothyroxine (T4) and 9 mcg liothyronine
(T3) per grain of
thyroid. The inactive ingredients are calcium stearate, dextrose,
microcrystalline
cellulose, sodium starch glycolate and opadry white.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The steps in the synthesis of the thyroid hormones are controlled by
thyrotropin
(Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, TSH) secreted by the anterior pituitary.
This hormone’s
secretion is in turn controlled by a feedback mechanism effected by
the thyroid
hormones themselves and by thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), a
tripeptide of
hypothalamic origin. Endogenous thyroid hormone secretion is
suppressed when
exogenous thyroid hormones are administered to euthyroid individuals
in excess of the
normal gland’s secretion.
The mechanisms by which thyroid hormones exert their physiologic
action are not well
understood. These hormones enhance oxygen consumption by most tissues
of the
body, increase the basal metabolic rate, and the metabolism of
carbohydrates, lipids,
and proteins. Thus, they exert a profound influence on every organ
system in the body
and are of particular importance in the development of the central
nervous system.
The normal thyroid gland contains approximately 200 mcg of
levothyroxine (T4) per
gram of gland, and 15 mcg of liothyronine (T3) per gram. The ratio of
these two
hormones in the circulation does not represent the ratio in the
thyroid gland, since
about 80% of periphe
