What Liothyronine is
Liothyronine is a man-made form of T3, the active thyroid hormone. It works faster and wears off sooner than levothyroxine.
What it’s for
Underactive thyroid, sometimes added to levothyroxine.
How it’s taken
By mouth, once a day or split into smaller doses through the day.
Good to know
It has a boxed warning: thyroid hormone must not be used to lose weight. In people with normal thyroid levels it won’t help, and large doses can cause serious or life-threatening effects. Too high a dose can cause a racing heart, shakiness, trouble sleeping and bone loss; chest pain or a very fast or uneven heartbeat needs care right away.
