Re-T3

Liothyronine is a synthetic version of the thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3). It is primarily prescribed to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, and in emergency situations such as myxedema coma.

Liothyronine may be administered orally or given intravenously, depending on the medical need. Because it directly affects metabolism and many body systems, taking more than the prescribed amount can lead to side effects related to excessive thyroid hormone levels.

For safe and effective use, Liothyronine should always be taken under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
