Description
Liocyl® is an oral tablet preparation containing liothyronine sodium, the sodium salt form of liothyronine. Liothyronine is a synthetic form of triiodothyronine, an iodinated thyroid hormone, and is presented as a defined small-molecule salt in a solid oral dosage form.
The tablet format is suited to this low-molecular-weight compound for oral administration. In this dosage form, the active substance is provided as a measured unit dose intended for release after ingestion, without oil-depot release, ester hydrolysis, peptide-solubility requirements or suspension-based release from an injection site.
Further details on composition, method of use, precautions, possible side effects, contraindications and storage are provided in the package leaflet.
