Just my thoughts as this is one thyroid med I have to used.

The idea of a synthetic combo T3/T4 med seems odd when you can adjust T3 and T4 independently with Cytomel and synthetic levothyroxin. It it works better for someone, than thats obviously a good reason to take it.

It needs to be refrigerated for some reason, i find that part very inconvenient.

I still dont undrstand why some of these drs are afraid of dessicated thyroid meds.

Been on ERFA for over 2 years and I have not found it to be unstable in strength from bottle to bottle.

I don't have that option (Adjusting both Free T3 and T4) with Armour either, but the part about refridgeration I don't care for either. I just happened to be watching a show with him as a guest and he was discussing thyroid meds.
He mentioned Thyrolar as a better alternative to Armour simply because Armour is derived from Pigs, However I have been taking it for a while now and I am not "Oinking Yet LOL
