In psychiatry, liothyronine is used off-label to augment antidepressant treatment of refractory depression. Marketed under the brand name cytomel.A hormone produced by the thyroid gland which can be artificially synthesised for use as a rapid-acting treatment for hypothyroidism.A hormone produced by the thyroid gland that is similar to thyroxine and used to treat conditions of thyroid deficiency. It is administered by mouth or injection and has a rapid but short-lived effect.A preparation based on the thyroid hormone triiodothyronine, which is prescribed to replace a lack of natural thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism). The drug is also used to treat goitre and cancer of the thyroid gland.Liothyronine is a thyroid hormone employed as a substitution treatment in cases of hypothyroidism, characterized by the thyroid gland's reduced activity. It has a quicker onset of action compared to levothyroxine and is metabolized and eliminated from the body more swiftly."}
