Precautions:
Thyroid hormones effect how efficiently the body can metabolise other drugs. Hypothyroidism reduces the effect of the body on drugs, so patients with hypothyroidism can take longer to metabolize and eliminate drugs from the system. Conversely, hyperthyroidism can cause the body to speed up the elimination of drugs. These are important considerations if you are taking any other medicines with Liothyronine Sodium.
Liothyronine Sodium is generally considered safe to use by pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. Thyroid hormones do not cross the placenta easily, and only a very small amount of thyroid hormone will be found in breast milk.
