Triiodothyronines are used to treat hypothyroidism, or a condition of low thyroid hormone levels in the body. They also have other uses, such as managing certain types of thyroid cancer. These medications supplement the body with thyroid hormones, which help regulate your metabolism, energy levels, body temperature, and overall growth and development. Triiodothyronines come as oral tablets. Examples include liothyronine (Cytomel). You can discuss with your healthcare professional to see whether these treatments are right for you.
