In thyroid cancer or ], ablation therapy with radioactive iodine (]) can be used to remove trace thyroid tissue that may remain after ] (surgical excision of the gland). For <sup>131</sup>I therapy to be effective, the trace thyroid tissue must be avid to iodine, which is achieved by elevating the person's ] levels.<ref name="ATA-cancer">{{cite web|title=Thyroid Cancer (Papillary and Follicular)|url=http://www.thyroid.org/thyroid-cancer/|website=American Thyroid Association|access-date=25 December 2016}}</ref> For patients taking levothyroxine, TSH may be boosted by discontinuing levothyroxine for 3–6 weeks.<ref name="ATA-cancer"/> This long period of hormone withdrawal is required because of levothyroxine's relatively long ], and may result in symptoms of hypothyroidism in the patient. The shorter half-life of liothyronine permits a withdrawal period of two weeks, which may minimize hypothyroidism symptoms. One protocol is to discontinue levothyroxine, then prescribe liothyronine while the T<sub>4</sub> levels are falling, and finally stop the liothyronine two weeks before the radioactive iodine treatment.<ref name="ATA-cancer"/> |

===Pregnancy=== |
|
|
Thyroid hormone is minimally transferred to the fetus or placenta, however as of October 2014, studies have not shown any adverse effects to the fetus.

|
|
|
<blockquote> |
|
|
Drugs with thyroid hormone activity, alone or together with other therapeutic agents, have been used for the treatment of obesity. In euthyroid patients, doses within the range of daily hormonal requirements are ineffective for weight reduction. Larger doses may produce serious or even life-threatening manifestations of toxicity, particularly when given in association with ]s such as those used for their anorectic effects.</blockquote> |

Liothyronine is the most potent form of thyroid hormone. As a ] of ] (T<sub>3</sub>), it is chemically similar and pharmacologically equivalent to T<sub>3</sub>. As such, it acts on the body to increase the basal metabolic rate, affect protein synthesis and increase the body's sensitivity to catecholamines (such as adrenaline) by ].
