Thyroxine Sodium Tablets

Product Details:

Shytomel Duo 94 mcg is a combination thyroid hormone replacement therapy used primarily to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). It is manufactured by Kachhela Medex (and sometimes marketed by Park Pharmaceuticals) in India. CompositionThe 94 mcg strength specifically combines two synthetic thyroid hormones to more closely mimic natural thyroid production: Levothyroxine Sodium (T4): 18 mcg.Liothyronine Sodium (T3): 76 mcg.(Note: Some variations in reported ratios exist, but 18mcg/76mcg is the common specification for the 94mcg Duo brand.) Medical UsesThis dual-hormone therapy is prescribed for: Severe Hypothyroidism: Replacing missing hormones to regulate metabolism and energy.Persistent Symptoms: For patients who remain fatigued or experience "mental fog" on standard T4-only treatments (like Synthroid).Goiter & Thyroid Cancer Management: Used to suppress Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) to prevent gland enlargement or cancer recurrence. Mechanism of ActionT4 (Levothyroxine): Acts as a reservoir, providing a sustained release of hormone as the body converts it into the active T3 form.T3 (Liothyronine): Provides a rapid metabolic boost as it is already in the active form, immediately supporting energy levels and cognitive function. Administration and StorageDosing: Usually taken once daily on an empty stomach, at least 30–60 minutes before breakfast.Interactions: Avoid taking at the same time as antacids, calcium, or iron supplements (wait 4 hours) as they interfere with absorption.Storage: Most combination thyroid tablets should be stored in a cool place; some brands may require refrigeration (2°C–8°C) to maintain stability.

Shytomel Duo 70 mcg is a combination thyroid hormone replacement medication manufactured by Kachhela Medex. It is designed to closely mimic the body's natural thyroid production by providing both major thyroid hormones in a single dose. CompositionThe 70 mcg strength typically consists of a fixed ratio of synthetic hormones: Levothyroxine Sodium (T4): 57 mcg.Liothyronine Sodium (T3): 13.5 mcg.(Note: Some clinical sources may refer to this total strength as approximately 70.5 mcg or 75 mcg depending on the specific batch formulation). Medical UsesThis dual-hormone therapy is used to manage: Hypothyroidism: Treats an underactive thyroid caused by various factors, including autoimmune disease or thyroid removal.Symptom Relief: Targeted for patients who do not experience full relief (e.g., persistent "brain fog" or fatigue) with T4-only treatments.Goiter and Cancer Management: Used to suppress Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) to prevent the growth of goiters or thyroid cancer. Mechanism of ActionT4 (Levothyroxine): Acts as a long-acting "pro-hormone" that the body converts into active T3 as needed.T3 (Liothyronine): Provides the active form of the hormone for rapid action on metabolism, energy, and cognitive function. Administration and PrecautionsDosing: Usually taken once daily on an empty stomach, at least 60 minutes before food.Interactions: Maintain a 4-hour gap before taking calcium, iron, antacids, or multivitamins, as these severely interfere with hormone absorption.Monitoring: Requires regular blood tests (T3, T4, TSH) to ensure levels remain within a safe range, as dosing is highly individualized.

Shytomel Duo 47 mcg is a combination thyroid hormone replacement medication used to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Manufactured by Kachhela Medex Private Limited, it is designed to mimic the natural hormone output of the thyroid gland by providing both synthetic T4 and T3 hormones. CompositionEach tablet contains a total of 47 mcg of active thyroid hormones in the following ratio: Levothyroxine Sodium (T4): 38 mcg.Liothyronine Sodium (T3): 9 mcg. Medical UsesThis dual-hormone therapy is typically prescribed for: Comprehensive Replacement: For patients who do not achieve full symptom relief (such as persistent fatigue or "brain fog") on Levothyroxine-only (T4) therapy.Severe Conditions: Used in the management of severe hypothyroidism (myxedema) and certain types of goiter.Diagnostic Use: Occasionally used in thyroid suppression tests to evaluate thyroid function. Mechanism of ActionT4 (Levothyroxine): Acts as a "pro-hormone" that provides a steady, long-term supply of thyroid hormone as the body converts it into the active T3 form.T3 (Liothyronine): Provides immediate metabolic action, acting directly on cells to regulate energy production and metabolism. Administration and StorageDosing: Usually taken once daily on an empty stomach, at least 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, to ensure optimal absorption.Monitoring: Regular blood tests for TSH, Free T4, and Free T3 are essential to adjust the individualized dose.Storage: Should be kept in a cool, dry place. The medication has a shelf life of approximately 24 months.

Shytomel 5 mcg is a thyroid hormone replacement medication manufactured by Kachhela Medex Pvt. Ltd. Unlike the "Duo" versions which are combination therapies, this specific product typically contains only the fast-acting Liothyronine Sodium (T3) hormone. CompositionActive Ingredient: Liothyronine Sodium (T3) 5 mcg.Note: While some Shytomel Duo products combine T4 and T3, Shytomel 5 is standardly a pure T3 formulation. Medical UsesThis medication is prescribed to treat conditions where the body does not produce enough thyroid hormone, specifically:Hypothyroidism: Restoration of normal T3 levels to alleviate symptoms such as extreme fatigue, weight gain, and depression.Myxedema: Used in the management of severe hypothyroidism or myxedema coma.Goiter and Thyroid Cancer: Helps decrease the size of an enlarged thyroid gland or suppresses thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in cancer management.Diagnostic Testing: Used in thyroid suppression tests to evaluate thyroid gland responsiveness. Mechanism of ActionLiothyronine (T3) is the active form of thyroid hormone. Unlike Levothyroxine (T4), which must be converted by the body, T3 acts immediately on cells to regulate metabolism, body temperature, and energy production. Administration and PrecautionsDosing: Usually taken once daily on an empty stomach, ideally at least 30–60 minutes before breakfast.Interactions: Wait at least 4 hours before taking antacids, calcium, or iron supplements, as these can block hormone absorption.Monitoring: Regular blood tests are required to ensure the dose is safe and effective.

Shytomel 25 mcg is a synthetic thyroid hormone replacement medication manufactured by Kachhela Medex Pvt. Ltd. in India. While the "Duo" brand variants are combinations of T3 and T4, the standard Shytomel 25 mcg typically contains only the fast-acting hormone Liothyronine Sodium (T3). CompositionActive Ingredient: Liothyronine Sodium (T3) 25 mcg.Note: Although some secondary listings may vary, most primary specifications for Shytomel 25 mcg identify it as a pure T3 (Liothyronine) tablet. Medical UsesThis medication is used to restore hormone balance in patients with thyroid deficiencies: Hypothyroidism Management: Treats symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, depression, and cold intolerance by replacing missing T3.Goiter and Thyroid Cancer: Helps reduce the size of an enlarged thyroid gland and is used in suppression therapy for thyroid cancer.Combination Therapy: Often used alongside Levothyroxine (T4) for patients who do not experience full relief from T4-only treatments.Off-label Fitness Use: In some contexts, it is used for metabolic enhancement and fat loss in weight management protocols. Mechanism of ActionLiothyronine (T3) is the biologically active form of thyroid hormone. Unlike T4 (Levothyroxine), which must be converted by the body, T3 works directly and rapidly on cellular metabolism, increasing basal metabolic rate and enhancing energy production. Administration and PrecautionsDosing: Usually taken once daily on an empty stomach, at least 60 minutes before breakfast.Gapping: Leave at least 4 hours before taking calcium, iron, antacids, or multivitamins, as they interfere with absorption.Monitoring: Requires regular blood tests (T3, T4, TSH) to ensure levels remain within a safe range, as dosing is highly individualized.

Shytomel 50 mcg is a synthetic thyroid hormone replacement medication manufactured by Kachhela Medex Pvt. Ltd. based in India. While other "Duo" products in this brand line combine hormones, the standard Shytomel 50 mcg tablet is typically a high-potency Liothyronine Sodium (T3) formulation. CompositionActive Ingredient: Liothyronine Sodium (T3) 50 mcg.Hormone Type: Triiodothyronine (T3), the active form of thyroid hormone. Medical UsesThis medication is primarily prescribed to restore metabolic balance in patients with severe thyroid deficiencies: Hypothyroidism: Treats an underactive thyroid by supplementing low T3 levels to improve metabolism and energy.Myxedema and Myxedema Coma: Used to manage severe, life-threatening hypothyroidism.Goiter Treatment: Helps reduce the size of an enlarged thyroid gland (non-toxic goiter).Thyroid Cancer: Often used alongside surgery and iodine therapy to suppress Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH).Diagnostic Testing: Used in thyroid suppression tests to differentiate between types of thyroid disorders. Mechanism of ActionLiothyronine (T3) is the biologically active form of thyroid hormone. Unlike Levothyroxine (T4), which the body must convert before use, T3 acts directly and rapidly on cellular metabolism. It increases the basal metabolic rate, affecting energy production, body temperature, and heart function. Administration and PrecautionsDosing: Usually taken once daily on an empty stomach, ideally at least 30–60 minutes before breakfast.Interactions: Wait at least 4 hours before taking antacids, calcium or iron supplements, or multivitamins, as these can block hormone absorption.Medical Supervision: Due to its high potency, this strength requires strict monitoring via regular blood tests (T3, TSH) to avoid toxicity.
