What About "Compounded" Cytomel?
In some situations, your pharmacy may make ("compound") a liothyronine medication especially tailored to your needs. Your healthcare provider must write you a prescription for such a product, and the compounded product must be substantially different from Cytomel. For instance, the compounded product could be a different strength compared to Cytomel or perhaps may be made in a long-acting form. It is not legal for pharmacies to compound products that are exactly the same as commercially available products such as Cytomel.
