$158.95 – $169.95

Cytomel operates by supplementing the levels of triiodothyronine (T3) in the body, thereby stimulating the metabolic processes that are reliant on thyroid hormones. This hastens the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, besides influencing the body’s regulation of temperature, heart rate, and growth and development.

For individuals with hypothyroidism, Cytomel can provide relief from common symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity, and slow heart rate. Its effect is typically more rapid and can be more easily adjusted than that of T4 (levothyroxine) medications, making it a critical option in specific clinical scenarios.

Description

Cytomel, scientifically known as liothyronine sodium, is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3). It is predominantly used in the treatment of hypothyroidism, a condition characterized by an underactive thyroid gland that fails to produce sufficient thyroid hormones.

This medication is particularly effective in situations where there is a need for rapid normalization of the thyroid hormone levels, such as in the case of severe hypothyroidism or when T4 to T3 conversion in the body is impaired. By mimicking the natural hormone T3, Cytomel helps regulate the body’s energy and metabolism, thus alleviating the symptoms associated with hypothyroidism.

Additional information

Usage	Indications: Cytomel is indicated for the treatment of: ● Hypothyroidism (primary, secondary, tertiary) ● Myxedema coma, a severe form of hypothyroidism ● Adjunctive treatment of thyroid cancer To use Cytomel effectively, patients should: ● Take it orally, typically once daily or as divided doses based on the healthcare provider's prescription. ● Always follow the dosing instructions carefully, as the dose needs to be tailored to individual requirements based on thyroid hormone levels and clinical response. ● Monitor thyroid function tests (TFTs) regularly and adjust the dose as necessary under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
Side Effects	● Palpitations or rapid heartbeat ● Weight loss ● Anxiety or nervousness ● Insomnia Serious side effects requiring immediate medical attention include: ● Signs of overdose, such as chest pain, confusion, or arrhythmia ● Severe allergic reactions
Storage	Store Cytomel at room temperature, away from moisture and light, in a tightly closed container. This maintains the medication's effectiveness and ensures safety. Keep it out of reach of children and pets to avoid accidental ingestion.
Special Precautions	Before starting Cytomel, inform your healthcare provider if you have: ● Heart disease or arrhythmias, as Cytomel can elevate heart rate. ● Diabetes, since dosage adjustments of diabetes medicines might be necessary. ● Recently received or are scheduled to receive radiology contrast agents for imaging procedures. Patients with adrenal gland problems should exercise caution when using Cytomel due to potential exacerbation of their condition. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult closely with their healthcare providers, as thyroid hormone levels are critical to manage during these periods for the health of both mother and baby.
Overdose	An overdose of Cytomel can lead to symptoms indicative of hyperthyroidism, such as excessive sweating, shaking, anxiety, or even a heart attack. Immediate medical attention is necessary in the case of an overdose. It’s crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and frequency to avoid such serious adverse effects. By appropriately supplementing the body's thyroid hormone levels, Cytomel plays a vital role in rectifying the metabolic imbalances caused by hypothyroidism, thereby significantly improving the patient's quality of life. Regular monitoring and adjustments by a healthcare provider are essential to ensure the treatment's safety and effectiveness
