Tracey Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Has anyone yet found dessicated thyroid meds like Armour or Nature Throid brands in Mexico? I have been using it for a year with much success back in the states; and now that I'm living here, I don't know how to get more (besides a return flight back home)! Thanks!

Don Anomino Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Natural dessicated thyroid medications (Armour, Nature-Throid, Westhroid, Erfa, etc.) are NOT available in Mexico. I have heard that an American naturopath in San Miguel de Allende, Dr. Nicholas Ransom, is importing Nature-Throid for his patients there. Otherwise, you (or someone else) will have to bring these meds down from the States or Canada. Various synthetic T4 medications are available in brand-name and generic forms at almost every pharmacy, for example, Eutirox. Novotiral is a synthetic combo T4/T3 medication that is readily available, but it has a slightly different T4/T3 ratio than Armour thyroid and is missing the T2 and T1 hormones and the calcitonin present in natural thyroid. I believe the sole T3-only medication currently available in Mexico is sold under the brand name Triyotex. Cynomel has been discontinued by its manufacturer.

MrMiller Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 It looks like we will be moving to Ajijic in 2018. What has been the alternative to Armour Thyroid that people have found that works for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honorandfaith Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Am stocking up on Naturethroid for a years supply before I come down in March, permanently. The only strength of liothyronine (Cytomel) here is 75 Mcg. I would be dead with that dose! Bringing that, too. But will call Dr. Santiago. I pay about $36/100 tablets of the NT.

Don Anomino Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Cynomel (T3) made by Laboratorios Grossman is available again and comes in 25 mcg tablets packaged in a small bottle of 100 tablets. I take it sublingually. Works fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
