The patient taking desiccated thyroid (e.g., Armour Thyroid) should be switched to what
medication?
levothyroxine, the synthetic form of T4, as the preferred treatment for hypothyroidism. The
hormone content in desiccated thyroid can vary between batches, leading to inconsistent
therapeutic effects and potential overtreatment or undertreatment. Levothyroxine provides a
stable, standardized, and predictable dose, ensuring better control of thyroid hormone levels.
who should definitely not receive desiccated thyroid medications?
They should not be used for patients with underlying cardiac disease, given the varied
concentrations of highly active T3, which poses a greater risk of overreplacement and iatrogenic
thyrotoxicosis.
For a patient experiencing unpredictable blood glucose readings and an increase in
hypoglycemic episodes while using Novolin N (NPH insulin) twice daily, a good alternative would
be a ?
a long-acting basal insulin such as insulin glargine (Lantus, Basaglar)
