A Guide to Cytomel
Cytomel is the brand name for liothyronine sodium tablets which are used for thyroid treatment.
Most GPs prescribe synthetic thyroid replacement hormones to patients with thyroid problems. These synthetic medications typically only include the T4 hormone. This is the stored form of thyroid hormone in our bodies. We need to convert it in to T3. However, not everyone can do this adequately.
For this reason, many people with thyroid problems opt for a natural thyroid replacement hormone, which contains both T4 and T3.
Cytomel is different once again. Cytomel provides both T4 and T3 but is synthetically produced.
Benefits of Cytomel
Cytomel is useful as a supplemental or replacement thyroid treatment for those with most forms of hypothyroidism. It is particularly useful for patients who wish to take a T3 and T4 compound but who are allergic to either desiccated thyroid, or one of the natural thyroid remedy inactive ingredients.
As it is made using synthetic thyroid hormone, it is also much more possible to ascertain a standardised dose.
Cytomel Side Effects
All medicines and supplements can cause side effects. Cytomel side effects are rare but include:
- Temporary hair loss
- Stomach complaints including nausea and vomiting
- Chest pains
- Palpitations
- Sensitivity to heat and excessive sweating
- Anxiety
- Changes in appetite
Cytomel should not be used to aid weight loss in those without a thyroid disorder.
