LIOTHYROIC T3 -Keifei Pharma

Description

Keifei Pharma LIOTHYROIC T3 is a form of thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism and myxedema coma. Liothyronine is the most potent form of thyroid hormone. Chemically, it is nearly identical to triiodothyronine(T3). As such, it acts on the body to increase the basal metabolic rate, effect protein synthesis and increase the body’s sensitivity to catecholamines (such as adrenaline) by permissiveness. The thyroid hormones are essential to proper development and differentiation of all cells of the human body. These hormones also regulate protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, affecting how human cells use energetic compounds.

In comparison to levothyroxine (T4), liothyronine has a faster onset of action as well as a shorter biological half-life, which may be due to less plasma protein binding to thyroxine-binding globulin and transthyretin.

Drugs with thyroid hormone activity, alone or together with other therapeutic agents, have been used for the treatment of obesity. In euthyroid patients, doses within the range of daily hormonal requirements are ineffective for weight reduction. Larger doses may produce serious or even life-threatening manifestations of toxicity, particularly when given in association with sympathomimetic aminessuch as those used for their anorectic effects.
