In Reply to: Unique/PA/BK - a question on T3 posted by Mitch on March 09, 1997 at 23:40:01:
: If a person has low T3 levels, what would be
: the right treatment for that condition?
: I was thinking of increasing dosages of
: Tiromade (Cytomel) from 4 tabs a day (25mcg/tab) to
: about 6-7 to compensate for the "missing" hormone,
: but I am not sure this is the right thing to do.
: Would this cause a complete and irreversible thyroid shutdown
: given the fact the the gland is already not
: functioning normally ?
: This info isn't for me as my thyroid is all right,
: but for a friend of mine who is a female. I appreciate
: your advice.
: Thanks, guys!
