Description

T3 Tab (Liothyronine Sodium B.P. 20 mcg) is a fast-acting thyroid hormone replacement therapy designed to restore optimal T3 hormone levels in the body. Unlike levothyroxine (T4), Liothyronine is the biologically active form of thyroid hormone, allowing for direct metabolic action.

Key Benefits:

Rapid improvement in energy, metabolism, and mental clarity

Effective for patients with poor T4-to-T3 conversion

Supports thyroid hormone balance and cellular metabolism

Composition:

Active Ingredient: Liothyronine Sodium B.P. 20 mcg

Inactive Ingredients: Pharmaceutical excipients for stability and absorption

Usage Instructions

Take T3 Tab exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Usually taken once daily, preferably in the morning.

Swallow the tablet with water; do not crush or chew.

Avoid food for 30–60 minutes after intake for optimal absorption.

Regular thyroid function tests are required to monitor therapy.

⚠️ Do not self-adjust dosage.

Medicinal Advantages

Provides active thyroid hormone (T3) directly

Improves symptoms of hypothyroidism such as fatigue, weight gain, and cold intolerance

Enhances basal metabolic rate and energy utilization

Useful in select patients with thyroid resistance or conversion disorders

Clinical evidence supports Liothyronine’s effectiveness in patients unresponsive to T4-only therapy when used under specialist supervision.

Side Effects

Common side effects:

Palpitations

Sweating

Nervousness

Headache

Serious side effects (seek medical help):

Chest pain

Irregular heartbeat

Severe anxiety or tremors

Symptoms of hyperthyroidism

Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting therapy.

Mechanism of Action

Liothyronine Sodium works by:

Replacing deficient triiodothyronine (T3) hormone

Binding to thyroid hormone receptors in cells

Regulating gene expression involved in metabolism, growth, and energy production

Increasing oxygen consumption and metabolic rate

This results in rapid physiological and metabolic normalization.
