How To Use Liothyronine

Your doctor will ask you to administer Cytomel tablets orally (by mouth) once a day. Try to take your medicine at around the same time every day. 

Read the prescription label carefully and take the medicine exactly as prescribed. Do not increase or reduce thyroid hormone dosage without consulting your healthcare provider. Your provider will likely start you on a lower dose and gradually increase the dose every 1-2 weeks until the desired response is achieved. 

You will need to take liothyronine for life to control hypothyroidism symptoms. Continue taking liothyronine even if you feel well. Do not stop the medicine without talking to your healthcare provider.

Missed dose: If you forget a dose of liothyronine, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose according to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose or extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.

Storage: Store liothyronine at room temperature (between 15-30° C or 59-86° F) away from moisture, heat, and direct light in its original container, tightly closed. Do not store medications in the bathroom, where they can be exposed to moisture and heat. Keep all medications safely out of reach of children and pets.

Unused medicine: Unused or expired liothyronine should be disposed of in a way that children, other people, and pets cannot get to them. Do not throw liothyronine in the trash or flush it down the toilet. The best way to properly discard expired or unneeded liothyronine is through your local waste disposal company or a drug take-back program. Learn more about proper medication disposal.
