I have no thyroid and have taken meds here now for years. There is no Armour in Panama. In fact, NONE of the typical thyroid meds that you buy in the US are in Panama. There is only ONE thyroid replacement pill available here...it is called Eutirox. The dosages are in the same increments, MCG.
This took my system some getting used to. But I do NOT want to go through the nightmare of shipping meds from the US.
Also, here, you do not need an RX fro this. I go do my bloodwork at the lab every 3 months, just to keep up with it and go up or down with the dosage if needed. I will say that after the first year, I have been on the same dosage just as I was in the US before moving here. Good Luck! If anyone knows your pain, it's me. I understand how difficult thyroid issues can be.
