2. Thyro3 25mcg Tablets (Generic Liothyronine Sodium Tablets) Thyro3 (Generic Liothyronine Sodium 25mcg tablets) is a synthetic form of triiodothyronine (T3), a thyroid hormone used to treat coma of myxedema, the management of severe chronic thyroid deficiency and hypothyroidism, a condition wherein the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. It is also used to help decrease the size of enlarged thyroid glands (goiter) and treat thyroid cancer. Liothyronine is also used in some medical tests to help diagnose problems with the thyroid gland. T3 is the metabolically active thyroid hormone, which causes feedback inhibition, and lowers elevated TSH levels. It increases metabolism in peripheral tissues and is indicated when there is an impaired conversion of T4 to T3 in peripheral tissues. © Clearsky Pharmacy ( www.clearskypharmacy.biz )
