Anyone use time release cytomel?? If so how did it compare with regular cytomel? Is it FDA approved? Can you only buy it thru compounding pharmacies?
Thanks all!

It isn't manufactured that way. A compounding pharmacy makes a time release version with either generic T3 or Cytomel...your choice.
It is more costly to have it made but it will give you a more consistent level throughout the day and night.
Once I have maintained my full replacement dosage, then I am thinking about doing it.
