Cytomel. Cytomel, a brand name for liothyronine, is used to treat hypothyroidism, and sometimes to diagnose hyperthyroidism. Each pill contains either 5, 10 or 25 mcg or liothyronine. The typical starting dose is usually 25 mcg, with a gradual increase until you are taking 75 mcg to 125 mcg daily.Cytomel does not have any reported side effects aside from hyperthyoidism symptoms, which only occur if you are taking too much of it.hile they do cause weight loss, these drugs should not be used to help you lose weight if you have normal thyroid function. This is because your risk of developing adverse effects is greater than any weight loss benefits you may receive.
High blood pressure, fever, hair loss, and insomnia are side effects that may occur with Cytomel. Side effects of the thyroid medication are generally minor and, in most cases, either do not require medical attention or can be treated easily.
