Thyroid Hormone, T3 (liothyronine) Without Talc

Does anybody know if there is a liothyronine without Talc in it as an inactive ingredient?

I have allergic reactions or side effects of Talc as a filler in medicine, causing fever, dehydration, choking (breathing problem). So I take medicine without it.

Synthroid has it in it so I take generic Levo in the U.S. (it seems that all generic does not contain talc as I tried my manufacturer's levo)

Cytome (T3) has Talc in it too so I asked my doctor to prescribe generic T3, but unfortunately my generic lionthyronine from Rite Aid has talc in it.

The best thing to do is to inform your pharmacist of your allergy, to ensure that it's noted in your file, and they can avoid providing you with medications that contain it, in the future.

While some companies do have their inactive ingredient list freely available online, not all of them do, and they may make a sudden change, so by the time you read such information, it could already be outdated.

Has your doctor done testing to confirm that talc is what you're allergic to?

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Liothyronine as possibly including nausea, dizziness, sweating, heat sensitivity, trouble breathing, diarrhea, weight loss, and feeling hot.
