Thyro3

Thyro3 (Liothyronine Sodium) is a treatment for hypothyroidism - a condition where the thyroid does not produce enough thyroid hormones. If hypothyroidism goes untreated it can cause myxedema, symptoms of which can include swollen lips, thickened nose, and unusual deposits of material in the skin that are dry and waxy. Liothyronine Sodium is a synthetic version of triiodothyronine, one of the two hormones made be the thyroid.

Thyro3 (Liothyronine Sodium) will usually start at a dosage of 5mcg to 25mcg. Your doctor will prescribe your starting dose and the adjust your dosage as necessary after checking levels of thyroid hormone in the blood. Treatment for hypothyroidism usually lasts for a lifetime.

There are few side effects associated with Liothyronine Sodium. Most symptoms are a result of hyperthyroidism (toxic or too high levels of thyroid hormones. These may include:

• chest pain
• increased heart rate
• excessive sweating
• heat intolerance
• nervousness
• headache
• tremor
• insomnia
• diarrhea
• vomiting
• weight loss
• fever
• rarely, cardiac arrest
• irregular menstrual cycles

Thyroid hormones effect how efficiently the body can metabolise other drugs. Hypothyroidism reduces the effect of the body on drugs, so patients with hypothyroidism can take longer to metabolize and eliminate drugs from the system. Conversely, hyperthyroidism can cause the body to speed up the elimination of drugs. These are important considerations if you are taking any other medicines with Liothyronine Sodium.

Liothyronine Sodium is generally considered safe to use by pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. Thyroid hormones do not cross the placenta easily, and only a very small amount of thyroid hormone will be found in breast milk.
