Does anyone have a link or suggestion, I am looking for an accurate
conversion table for Synthroid à Armour.

 

My math says, if T3 is FOUR times stronger than T4, then the equivalent
doses when converted to T4 activity, would be something like this—

 

¼ grain Armour, has T4 activity of 18.5 [9.5 mcg T4 + (2.25 T3 X 4)= 18.5]  

 

 ½ grain Armour, has T4 activity of 37 mcg [19 mcg T4 + (4.5 mcg T3 X 4)=
37]

 

And 1 grain Armour would have 74 mcg T4 activity, if all converted over.
[38 mcg T4 plus (9 mcg T3 X4)]

 

Does this sound about right?  

 

Holly
