Thyro 3 Tablets 25 mcg contain Liothyronine Sodium, a synthetic form of the active thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3). Unlike Levothyroxine (T4), which must be converted in the body to T3, Liothyronine acts faster and is directly active. It is primarily prescribed to treat hypothyroidism, myxedema, or as part of thyroid suppression testing, and may be used when T3 replacement is specifically needed or if T4 therapy alone is insufficient.

• Rapidly relieves symptoms of hypothyroidism

• Improves metabolic rate and energy levels

• Enhances mood, cognition, and cardiovascular function

• Beneficial for patients who do not adequately convert T4 to T3

• Useful in diagnostic testing and temporary suppression therapy

• Take the tablet once daily, on an empty stomach, preferably 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast

• Swallow whole with water; do not chew or split unless advised by a healthcare provider

• Take at the same time each day to maintain steady hormone levels

• Follow your physician’s dosing and monitoring instructions strictly

• Thyro 3 25 mcg is considered a moderate dose, typically prescribed after titration from a lower dose

• Initial therapy often begins at a lower strength and is increased gradually based on response and lab values

• Dosing may vary depending on whether it’s used for maintenance, combination therapy, or diagnostic purposes

• Blood tests (TSH, T3, T4) are required to guide dose adjustments

• Do not change the dose or stop the medication without medical guidance

• Use cautiously in patients with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or adrenal insufficiency

• Not suitable for individuals with untreated thyrotoxicosis

• Do not use for weight loss in individuals with normal thyroid function

• Drug interactions may occur with insulin, oral antidiabetics, anticoagulants, and other hormone therapies

• Routine thyroid function monitoring is crucial

Potential side effects, especially with overdosage, may include:

• Palpitations or rapid heartbeat

• Nervousness or irritability

• Insomnia

• Excessive sweating or heat intolerance

• Menstrual irregularities

• Hair thinning (temporary)

Seek immediate medical attention in case of chest pain, severe headache, or signs of an allergic reaction.

• Do not use after the expiration date or if packaging is damaged

Q1. What is Thyro 3 25 mcg used for?
It is used to treat hypothyroidism, particularly when T3 replacement is needed, or as part of thyroid suppression and diagnostic testing.

Q2. How is it different from Levothyroxine (T4)?
Liothyronine (T3) acts faster and is more potent than T4. It’s used when patients don’t respond adequately to T4 alone.

Q3. Can it be used with Levothyroxine?
Yes. Some patients benefit from a combination therapy of T3 and T4. This should only be done under specialist supervision.

Q4. Is Thyro 3 safe during pregnancy?
Levothyroxine (T4) is preferred in pregnancy. T3 use is limited and must be evaluated carefully by a physician.

Q5. What should I do if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as possible. If it’s near your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one. Do not double the dose.
