Content: The usual dose of Liothyronine is normally lower as compared to the prescribed dose of Levothyroxine since Liothyronine is a higher concentrated synthetic medication. Apart from being used to treat hypothyroidism, Liothyronine is also used to treat thyroid cancer and myxedema coma. Its use for obesity is not recommended. There is a risk of minor side-effects that occur when the drug has been used in excessive dosages. Liothyronine can be taken orally in the form of a tablet, or as an injection. A double-blind study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism investigated and then compared the effects of Levothyroxine and Liothyronine. The results showed that both thyroid medications helped increase thyroid hormone levels. It is worth mentioning that the use of Liothyronine helped achieve significant weight loss results. [ v]
Levothyroxine
Levothyroxine is the drug of choice when it comes to treating hypothyroidism. [ vi] This thyroid drug is identical to the T4 hormone, which is later converted in T3, once introduced in the body.
