Can 5 mcg of cytomel (liothyronine) cause insomnia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definitely: Cytomel (liothyronine) is not appropriate as a thyroid replacement medication. It has a short action, can be harmful, can't be measured in routine blood tests. Use only brane name T4 replacement at the correct level to keep thyroid lab normal.
