Liothyronine sodium is a synthetic version of one of the two hormones made by the thyroid gland, triiodothyronine(T3). It is used for treating individuals who are hypothyroid (do not produce enough thyroid hormones)
Liothyronine Sodium is a perfect replica of the naturally produced thyroid hormone triiodothyronine, or what is commonly referred to as the T3 hormone.

 

 

What is the dosage for liothyronine sodium?
The usual starting dose of liothyronine for treating hypothyroidism is 5 to 25 mcg per day. The dose then is adjusted based on the patient’s response and the blood levels of thyroid hormone. Optimal liothyronine doses are different for each patient and vary depending on the patient’s age, weight, symptoms, blood levels of thyroid hormone and underlying conditions such as heart disease. Individuals who are hypothyroid will require thyroid hormone for life.

In a performance setting, liothyronine sodium (Cytomel) doses will be very similar to hypothyroidism treatment plans. The individual will normally begin with 25mcg per day and increase the total dose 12.5-25mcg every 2-4 weeks as needed. Most will find they will have no need to go above 75-100mcg per day, with the 125mcg per day range being acceptable for very short periods of time.
