An under-active thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone which causes a condition known as hypothyroidism. This can lead to symptoms such as a pale, puffy appearance, dry coarse skin, brittle hair, a hoarse voice, slow heartbeat, muscle pain, joint pain, weakness, tiredness, constipation, weight changes and an intolerance of cold temperatures. Cytomel T-3 (liothyronin) is given as a medicine to correct this hormone imbalance. Cytomel T-3 (liothyronine sodium) tablets are intended for oral administration, once-a-day dosage is recommended. Although liothyronine sodium has a rapid cut-off, its metabolic effects persist for a few days following discontinuance. Cytomel T-3 Recommended dosages: * Mild Hypothyroidism: Recommended standing dosage is 25 mcg daily. Daily dosage then may be increased by up to 25 mcg every 1 or 2 weeks. Usual maintenance dose is 25 to 75 mcg daily. |
