Description
Linorma T3 20 mcg is a prescription medicine used to treat the symptoms of low thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism). It replaces or provides more thyroid hormone, normally produced by the thyroid gland.
Linorma T3 contains Liothyronine, a synthetic form of thyroid hormone. Low thyroid levels occur naturally or when the thyroid gland is injured by radiation/medications or removed by surgery. Symptoms of low thyroid hormone levels include muscle aches, slow heartbeat, dry skin, constipation, tiredness, or sensitivity to colds. You may see improvement in these symptoms within a few days. Patients are instructed to let their doctor know if they see no relief. Having enough thyroid hormone levels help you stay healthy. In children, appropriate levels of thyroid hormones help them grow and learn normally.
Product Description
Linorma T3 is used to replace a hormone that is normally produced by the thyroid gland. Generally, hormone replacement therapy is to be taken for life. It should not be used as a primary or adjunctive therapy in weight reduction programs. Also, patients need to inform their doctor about their ongoing medications, including prescription and non-prescription formulations. Patients are instructed to let their doctor know of all the medical conditions, particularly diabetes, heart disorders, adrenal gland disorders, diabetes, or pituitary gland disorders, as the dose of the medications used to control these other conditions may need to be adjusted while taking Liothyronine tablets.
