PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Thyroid hormone drugs are indicated: - As replacement or supplemental therapy in patients with hypothyroidism of any etiology, except transient hypothyroidism during the recovery phase of subacute thyroiditis. This category includes cretinism, myxedema and ordinary hypothyroidism in patients of any age (pediatric patients, adults, the elderly), or state (including pregnancy); primary hypothyroidism resulting from functional deficiency, primary atrophy, partial or total absence of thyroid gland, or the effects of surgery, radiation, or drugs, with or without the presence of goiter; and secondary (pituitary) or tertiary (hypothalamic) hypothyroidism (see WARNINGS ). - As pituitary thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppressants, in the treatment or prevention of various types of euthyroid goiters, including thyroid nodules, subacute or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's) and multinodular goiter. - As diagnostic agents in suppression tests to differentiate suspected mild hyperthyroidism or thyroid gland

Abbreviated New Drug Application
LIOTHYRONINE SODIUM- LIOTHYRONINE SODIUM TABLET AIDAREX PHARMACEUTICALS LLC ---------- LIOTHYRONINE SODIUM TABLETS, USP DESCRIPTION Thyroid hormone drugs are natural or synthetic preparations containing tetraiodothyronine (T , levothyroxine) sodium or triiodothyronine (T , liothyronine) sodium or both. T and T are produced in the human thyroid gland by the iodination and coupling of the amino acid tyrosine. T contains four iodine atoms and is formed by the coupling of two molecules of diiodotyrosine (DIT). T contains three atoms of iodine and is formed by the coupling of one molecule of DIT with one molecule of monoiodotyrosine (MIT). Both hormones are stored in the thyroid colloid as thyroglobulin. Thyroid hormone preparations belong to two categories: (1) natural hormonal preparations derived from animal thyroid, and (2) synthetic preparations. Natural preparations include desiccated thyroid and thyroglobulin. Desiccated thyroid is derived from domesticated animals that are used for food by man (either beef or hog thyroid), and thyroglobulin is derived from thyroid glands of the hog. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has standardized the total iodine content of natural preparations. Thyroid USP contains not less than (NLT) 0.17 percent and not more than (NMT) 0.23 percent iodine, and thyroglobulin contains not less than (NLT) 0.7 percent of organically bound iodine. Iodine content is only an indirect indicator of true hormonal biologic activity. Liothyronine Sodium Tablets, USP contain liothyronine (L-triiodothyronine or LT ), a synthetic form of a natural thyroid hormone, and is available as the sodium salt. The structural and empirical formulas and molecular weight of liothyronine sodium are given below. Twenty-five mcg of liothyronine is equivalent to approximately 1 grain of desiccated thyroid or thyroglobulin and 0.1 mg of L-thyroxine. Each round, white Liothyronine Sodium Tablet, USP contains liothyronine sodium equivalent to liothyronine as follows: 5 mcg debossed 5 and 220; 25 mcg scored and debossed read_full_document
