AB Thyroid  hormone  is  available  in  the  synthetic  forms  liothyronine  (triiodothyronine,  or  T3),  levothyroxine  (tetraiodothyronine,  or  T4),  and  liotrix  (both  T3  and  T4)  and  as  natural  desiccated  animal  thyroid  (containing  both  T3  and  T4).  Dosage  equivalents  are  listed  in  Table  II–62.  Despite  concern  about  the  potentially  life-threatening  manifestations  of  thyrotoxicosis,  serious  toxicity  rarely  occurs  after  acute  thyroid  hormone  ingestion.
