   How can I tell if I'm going hyper from too much T4 or T3? (Thyroid Disorders board)

31st October 2007
Classic pharmocological signs of hyper due to medication overdose are:
the speed up all of the body's vital processes, causing physical and mental hyperactivity, increased appetite, excessive sweating, chest pain, increased pulse rate, palpitations, nervousness, intolerance to heat, and possibly tremors or a rapid heartbeat.

Armour and the effects of certain drugs combined have adverse pharmacological effects. Armour Thyroid with these other drugs, can result in the effect of either drug could being increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Armour Thyroid with the following:

Asthma medications such as Theo-Dur
Blood thinners such as Coumadin
Cholestyramine (Questran)
Colestipol (Colestid)
Estrogen preparations (including some birth control pills such as Ortho-Novum and Premarin)
Insulin
Oral diabetes drugs such as Diabinese and Glucotrol)

Just in case any of these may be an issue.

Sincerely,
MG
