T3 augmentation for members with persistent thyroid symptoms and low Free T3 despite adequate T4 levels. Prescribed when labs confirm conversion issues. Requires lab monitoring before every refill. ## What to expect - Usually an addition — T3 is added to T4 therapy rather than replacing it. - Split dosing — Short-acting, so often taken twice daily on a set schedule. - Watch for overshoot — Palpitations, tremor or poor sleep can signal too high a dose. - Timed bloodwork — When you draw blood relative to your dose affects the result. ## What you’ll feel once your levels are in range ### Balanced energy Steady levels instead of peaks and crashes. ### Steadier metabolism Support for weight and temperature regulation. ### Clearer thinking Lifts the fog that comes with imbalance. ### Guided by your labs Dosing adjusted from real bloodwork, not guesswork. ## From order to optimized 1. ![Health assessment panel](https://static.vitalsvault.com/treatments/editorial/vv-step-lab-neutral-41477c3ae2444f25.webp)Step 1 ### Health assessment panel Quick lab panel at 2,000+ locations near you — or upload recent bloodwork and we may use your existing results.

Weeks 2–12 ## How to take it Take 1 tablet (5 mcg) by mouth daily; may titrate to 5 mcg twice daily based on follow-up labs ## Side effects and safety Thyroid hormone must not be used for weight loss. Doses larger than your body needs can be dangerous, especially alongside other weight loss medication. Tell your care team straight away if you get chest pain, a pounding or racing or irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, tremor or sweating or feeling overheated, or you lose weight without meaning to and cannot sleep. Common side effects - palpitations - a fast heart rate - tremor - muscle weakness - headache - nervousness - insomnia - diarrhea - feeling too warm Rare but serious - heart rhythm problems, particularly if you are older or have heart disease - worsening angina or heart attack - adrenal crisis if adrenal insufficiency has not been corrected first - loss of bone mineral density with long term over-replacement - loss of blood sugar control if you have diabetes Do not take this if you have adrenal insufficiency that has not been treated first. This is not a complete list of side effects. Message your care team about any symptom that worries you. ## More in this category ![Levothyroxine T4 product image](https://static.vitalsvault.com/treatments/editorial/6ad3fa5f20752fcd542c1f04-vvhero-care-levothyroxine-t4-1200-deb4ca3a63de52d8.webp) ### Levothyroxine For people already prescribed levothyroxine by their doctor.

Usually when symptoms persist despite T4 therapy and free T3 remains low. It is not a first-line replacement — T4 is. How is it dosed? T3 is short-acting, so it is often split into two smaller doses across the day rather than taken once. Your clinician will set the schedule. What should I watch for? Signs of too much: a racing or irregular heartbeat, tremor, anxiety, difficulty sleeping and heat intolerance. Report these rather than adjusting the dose yourself. How is it monitored? Through free T3 alongside TSH and free T4. Because T3 is short-acting, timing of your blood draw relative to your dose matters — follow the instruction you are given. ## Start your plan today 60-day supply · $78 every 60 days [Start as a man](https://www.vitalsvault.com/checkout/medications/app?plan=29877835-28a0-4148-8b77-625e87196f39&gender=male&flow=payment-first&skipWelcome=true&source=treatments)[Start as a woman](https://www.vitalsvault.com/checkout/medications/app?plan=29877835-28a0-4148-8b77-625e87196f39&gender=female&flow=payment-first&skipWelcome=true&source=treatments) ## The clinicians behind your care Your treatment is reviewed and prescribed by US-licensed clinicians in our network. ![Diana Kumar, MD, FACOG](https://static.vitalsvault.com/treatments/editorial/diana-kumar-md-c56d4b361d5774a7.webp) ### Diana Kumar, MD, FACOG Women's hormone health Board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.
