Liothyronine - Overview

Liothyronine, marketed under the name Cytomel, is used in the treatment of hypothyroidism and for several other indications. People in need of a liothyronine prescription can connect with a medical provider through Push Health who can prescribe liothyronine sodium tablets if appropriate to do so.

What Is Liothyronine Used For?

Liothyronine is a medication used in the management of certain thyroid disorders. While liothyronine and levothyroxine are both used in the treatment of thyroid disorders, they differ in that liothyronine is a version of the thyroid hormone T3 while levothyroxine is a version of the thyroid hormone T4. Both hormones are found in Armour Thyroid. Liothyronine is typically used in the form liothyronine sodium. After oral ingestion, the T3 is almost completely absorbed within 4 hours. After a biological half life of approximately 60 hours, most of the liothyronine metabolites are excreted by the kidneys. Liothyronine should be stored between 15° C and 30° C.

Liothyronine - Dosage and Cost

The liothyronine dosage used by a medical provider is dependent on patient characteristics such as age, weight, and other medical conditions. Often, liothyronine is administered once daily, starting at liothyronine 5 mcg orally and increasing as needed. Once liothyronine tablets are started, T3 levels need to be monitored to adjust the liothyronine dose as needed. Liothyronine is available as liothyronine 5 mcg, liothyronine 25 mcg and liothyronine 50 mcg tablets which makes it more usable across a range of dosing regimens. Liothyronine 5 mcg tablets are moderately affordable, costing 30 cents per tablet at many pharmacies. Some insurance plans may cover the cost of liothyronine prescriptions and liothyronine coupons may also be available online to cover any other costs associated with the medication.

Can I Buy Liothyronine Online?

Liothyronine is a prescription medication which means that it is not available over the counter. As a result, one cannot just buy liothyronine online without a prescription. The first step to getting liothyronine tablets is consulting a licensed medical provider. People who need a liothyronine medication prescription can connect with medical providers through Push Health who can prescribe liothyronine when appropriate to do so.
