Liothyronine Tips from Pharmacists

• Try to take liothyronine at the same time every day. This will help to maintain stable levels of thyroid hormones in your body.

• Keep all your healthcare appointments while on Cytomel therapy. Your doctor will adjust our dose based on your response. 

• Tell your doctor right away if you notice symptoms such as a rapid or irregular heartbeat, irritability, nervousness, shakiness, trouble sleeping, fatigue, muscle weakness, excessive sweating, or frequent bowel movements. These can be symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Your liothyronine dose may be too high and may need to be reduced.
