Liothyronine is a synthetic form of the T3 thyroid hormone. Thyroid treatment is often restricted to the synthetic T4 hormone only. It is used to treat hypothyroidism and is beneficial for thyroid dysfunction sufferers who are still experiencing symptoms despite T4 treatment. This is because the body can often struggle to convert T4 into the useful hormone T3.

Liothyronine is an active ingredient in synthetic thyroid medications such as Cytomel. Liothyronine can be purchased from abroad through International Pharmacy.

Benefits of Liothyronine

The single overwhelming benefit of Liothyronine, available as Liothyronine through branded medications such as Cytomel, is that it provides a synthetic version of the T3 hormone. Most medications offering the T3 hormone alongside the T4 hormone are derived from pig thyroids. Therefore, if you are allergic to this, or wish to avoid animal products, liothyronine is a viable alternative for treating thyroid conditions.

Liothyronine side effects

All medicines and supplements can cause side effects. Liothyronine 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

Liothyronine medications shouldn’t be used as a weight loss medication for those without thyroid problems.
