I thought it came as 30 mg tabs. (I knew somebody taking 30 mg.) The monograph talks about incrementing Armour by 15 mg, as well, during titration.

I hope your doctor does the right thing. I think Armour is a better idea than trying to titrate straight T-4 and T-3.

It's just a gut feeling, but I think there's more stuff in the thyroid extract, more important coextractives, than just the thyroid hormones that we've focussed our congitions on.
