Liothyronine, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3), can have several disadvantages, including a higher risk of causing rapid or irregular heartbeats, anxiety, and other symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its potency and rapid absorption. It may also lead to fluctuations in hormone levels, making it challenging to maintain stable thyroid function. Additionally, liothyronine often requires more frequent dosing compared to levothyroxine, which can be inconvenient for some patients.
