Cytomel (Cynomel by Grossman Lab) 25mcg 100 tablets

Cytomel (Liothyronine) is a medication primarily used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce sufficient thyroid hormones. It is also used for treating certain types of goiters and thyroid cancer, as well as for diagnostic testing of thyroid disorders.

Usage: This medication is taken orally, with or without food, usually once a day. It is important to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels of thyroid hormones. The typical initial dose for adults with hypothyroidism is 25 mcg daily, adjusted as necessary. It is crucial to follow the doctor's instructions and not discontinue treatment without consulting them​.

Interactions: Liothyronine can interact with various medications, including antacids, calcium supplements, iron, and certain cholesterol medications. It is recommended to take these medications at least 4 hours before or after Cytomel to avoid interference with absorption.​

Side Effects: Side effects may include temporary hair loss, especially in children during the first few months of treatment. Serious side effects can include symptoms of excess thyroid hormone, such as chest pain, palpitations, swelling of the ankles or feet, and difficulty breathing. Severe allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention.

Precautions: Inform the doctor of any pre-existing medical conditions, especially heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, and adrenal gland disorders. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor, as dosage adjustments may be necessary​.

Storage: Cytomel should be stored at room temperature, away from light and moisture, and out of reach of children and pets. Do not store it in the bathroom, and dispose of it properly when it is expired or no longer needed​.
