Tiromel 25 mcg Liothyronine Sodium (T3) – 100 Tablets

Tiromel 25 mcg is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Liothyronine Sodium. This is a synthetic version of Triiodothyronine (T3), the body’s most active thyroid hormone. This 100-tablet package from Abdi İbrahim is used to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and other thyroid conditions.

Product Overview: Tiromel 25 mcg (Liothyronine Sodium)

Tiromel 25 mcg (Liothyronine Sodium) is a fast-acting thyroid hormone replacement. Unlike more common T4 medications (like Levothyroxine), Tiromel provides the T3 hormone directly.

It is typically prescribed for:

• Hypothyroidism: For patients who do not convert T4 to T3 effectively or who remain symptomatic on T4-only therapy.
• Severe Hypothyroidism (Myxedema Coma): Its rapid onset of action makes it useful in emergencies.
• Thyroid Diagnostics: Used in tests to diagnose certain thyroid disorders.

Because T3 is the active hormone that controls metabolism, Tiromel has a rapid and potent effect, which requires very careful dosing and monitoring.

How Does Tiromel 25 mcg (Liothyronine) Work?

The body’s thyroid gland produces T4 (Levothyroxine) as a primary storage hormone and a smaller amount of T3 (Triiodothyronine). Most T4 is then converted by the body into T3, which is the active hormone that binds to receptors and regulates metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature.

Tiromel (Liothyronine) bypasses the conversion step entirely. It provides the active T3 hormone directly to the body, resulting in a much faster and more potent metabolic effect than T4 medications.

Key Product Details

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Tiromel 25 mcg is extremely sensitive and must be started low and increased very gradually by an endocrinologist.

• Administration: The total daily dose is often split into two or three smaller doses taken throughout the day. This is done to avoid sharp “peaks” in T3 levels, which can cause heart palpitations and anxiety.
• Important: Follow your doctor’s dosing schedule exactly. Do not switch from a T4 medication to T3 without a doctor’s guidance, as the dosages are not equivalent.

Important: This is a prescription-only medication. Dosing must be individualized and monitored with regular blood tests (TSH, Free T3, Free T4).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Tiromel 25 mcg

What is the difference between Tiromel (T3) and Levitron/Synthroid (T4)?

This is the most critical difference in thyroid care.

• T4 (Levitron/Synthroid): Is a storage hormone. The body slowly converts it to T3 as needed. It’s slow and stable.
• T3 (Tiromel): Is the active hormone. It is very fast-acting and potent, directly impacting metabolism. It is “all gas, no brakes.”

Why is Tiromel (T3) used “off-label” for fat loss?

Because T3 directly controls metabolism, taking it (especially in high doses) will dramatically increase metabolic rate, causing rapid weight (fat and muscle) loss. This is an extremely dangerous and unapproved use.

What are the risks of using Tiromel for weight loss?

Using T3 when your thyroid is healthy can cause severe hyperthyroidism (thyroid storm), leading to heart palpitations, arrhythmia, tremors, anxiety, and potentially permanent shutdown of your natural thyroid function.

What are the side effects of Tiromel 25 mcg?

Side effects are almost always signs of overdosing (hyperthyroidism). They include rapid or pounding heartbeat (palpitations), chest pain, sweating, nervousness, anxiety, and tremors.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: NOT FOR WEIGHT LOSS

• Thyroid hormones, including Tiromel (Liothyronine), must not be used to treat obesity or for weight loss, especially in patients with a normal thyroid.
• High doses can cause serious or even life-threatening effects, particularly on the heart.

Do not take this medication if you are allergic to Liothyronine, have an untreated adrenal gland disorder, or are experiencing a thyrotoxic crisis.

Overdosing on Tiromel is much more dangerous and rapid than with T4. It can cause severe hyperthyroid symptoms. Underdosing will result in a return of hypothyroid symptoms.
