Thyroid Replacement Therapy
Thyroid dysfunction affects many people, but it can be easily treated with thyroid
replacement medications. There are safety concerns to consider such as the patient
taking too much or too little of the replacement drug that can result in unwanted
symptoms.
There are many commercially available thyroid medications on the market; however,
not all patients will respond appropriately to conventional treatments due to:
- Limited dosage strengths
- Limited dosage forms
- Thyroid drug shortages
- Brand and generic non-equivalence
- Batch variability with desiccated thyroid
- Pharmacodynamic variability
- Inert ingredients sensitivity
Compounded thyroid medications from McGuff compounding pharmacy can address concerns
because:
- We can formulate strengths in T3 and T4 combinations that are not commercially available
- We stress accuracy and precision when formulating thyroid medications to minimize
dosage variability
- We can compound thyroid medications when there is a manufacturer’s backorder
- We can eliminate ingredients that patients may react to adversely (such as dye-free
capsules)
Our thyroid raw material is obtained from FDA-registered facilities. Give us a call
