Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Cytomel from Canada?
90-day cost = 90 tablets at the usual dose of 1 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 11, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price of the same strength (25 mcg); rows for other strengths show no saving. The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, for whole fills, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

Other Ways to Pay for Cytomel
We show the programs that usually fit, cheapest first where we know the price. Private insurance means a plan through work or one you buy yourself. Programs set their own rules, so check the terms before you count on one. We don't save this choice.
Other ways to pay, useful if you have insurance or Medicare:
- TrumpRx.gov: The federal TrumpRx site lists brand Cytomel from $6.00 for 30 tablets of 5 mcg (original price $12.00). You print or save a coupon and show it at a retail pharmacy that carries Cytomel. It can't be used with Medicare or Medicaid coverage, and a cash purchase won't count toward a Medicare plan's deductible or the $2,100 yearly cap. With private insurance, ask your plan whether a cash purchase counts toward your deductible. (TrumpRx.gov)
We list these because they may save you money. No one pays us to include them. Prices and eligibility rules change, so confirm before you buy. Checked Nov 11, 2026.

- TrumpRx.gov coupon: TrumpRx.gov lists brand Cytomel 5 mcg at $6.00 for 30 tablets (original price $12.00), with a coupon you show at a retail pharmacy. Not for Medicare or Medicaid (TrumpRx.gov).
- Generic Cytomel is sold in the U.S. The FDA has approved generic liothyronine tablets from several companies, rated equivalent to Cytomel (FDA Orange Book). Generic list prices aren't always below the brand's: 25 mcg lists at $46.84 for 100 tablets from Zydus and $79.20 for 90 tablets from Sigmapharm (Texas DSHS).
- How we count: 1 tablet a day. The label says to take Cytomel once a day, with the dose set for each person from lab results.
- With Medicare: your cost depends on your Part D plan. In 2026, deductibles are capped at $615 and yearly out-of-pocket costs for covered drugs at $2,100 (Medicare.gov).
- From online pharmacies abroad: for 90 days of brand Cytomel 25 mcg, shipping included (checked Nov 11, 2026). The U.S. list price for 90 tablets is about $47.85.

You may also use the TrumpRx.gov coupon instead of your insurance; ask your plan whether a cash purchase counts toward your deductible. | TrumpRx.gov |

Brand Cytomel is sold in the U.S. in bottles of 100 tablets. The 25 mcg bottle lists at $53.17, about 53 cents a tablet (Texas DSHS). That's a low list price for a brand, so a pack from abroad, with shipping, may cost more. TrumpRx.gov also lists a coupon price of $6.00 for 30 tablets of the 5 mcg strength.
Cytomel cost with Medicare in 2026
In 2026, Part D plans can charge a deductible of up to $615, and once your out-of-pocket spending on covered Part D drugs reaches $2,100, you pay nothing more for covered drugs for the rest of the year. What you pay for brand Cytomel or generic liothyronine depends on your plan's drug list. The TrumpRx.gov coupon can't be used with Medicare.

| Yearly out-of-pocket cap | Once your out-of-pocket spending on covered Part D drugs reaches $2,100 in 2026, you pay nothing more for covered drugs that year. | Medicare.gov |
Cytomel coupons and savings programs
eDrugSearch does not offer its own Cytomel coupons. These are the real savings programs, run by the drug's maker and by Medicare:
- TrumpRx.gov coupon: brand Cytomel from $6.00 for 30 tablets of 5 mcg (original price $12.00), with a coupon you show at a retail pharmacy. It can't be used with Medicare or Medicaid coverage, and a cash purchase won't count toward a Medicare plan's deductible or the $2,100 yearly cap. With private insurance, ask your plan whether a cash purchase counts toward your deductible. (TrumpRx.gov)
- Medicare Extra Help: if you have Medicare and limited income, Extra Help lowers what you pay for prescriptions. (Social Security)
- Medicare Prescription Payment Plan: a free Medicare option that spreads your drug costs into monthly payments across the year. It doesn't lower the total, but it can make costs easier to manage. (Medicare.gov)

Generics in all three strengths have been approved since March 20, 2009, and Sigmapharm's has been listed as on the market since December 3, 2012.

Outside the U.S.: Online pharmacies abroad may also sell generic liothyronine made for other markets. Those packs are not FDA-approved, and the price table labels them that way.

What is Cytomel used for?
Cytomel (liothyronine) is a man-made form of T3, one of the hormones the thyroid gland makes. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used for:
- Hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid), to replace the missing hormone.
- Thyroid cancer care, along with surgery and radioactive iodine, to lower TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone).
- A thyroid suppression test, used when mild hyperthyroidism or a thyroid gland that works on its own is suspected.
Cytomel is taken once a day. The label's starting dose for adults with hypothyroidism is 25 mcg a day, and the dose is adjusted from lab results. Boxed warning: the label carries the FDA's strongest warning. Thyroid hormones, including Cytomel, should not be used to treat obesity or for weight loss, and larger doses can cause serious or even life-threatening effects. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Cytomel from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Cytomel, compare the U.S. list price and the TrumpRx.gov coupon before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Cytomel 5 mcg and 25 mcg tablets are sold under the same name by Pfizer Canada (Health Canada).
