Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Armory Thyroid is a thyroid extract from animals. Therefore it may contain traces of animal proteins to which you became allergic. Levothyroxine is a synthetic hormone and hence is unlikely to produce any allergic reaction. Get your TSH checked after you have been on Levothyroxine to ensure whether the dose is correct as the same has an effect on your feeling of wellness.
