Using secobarbital together with liothyronine can decrease the effects of secobarbital. This can cause fatigue, weight gain, constipation, and low blood pressure. Talk with your doctor before using these medications together, and report any side effects promptly. You may need a dose adjustment or thyroid tests to safely take both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

MONITOR: Barbiturates may decrease exogenous thyroid plasma concentrations resulting in elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and exacerbation of hypothyroidism. The mechanism may be induction of hepatic CYP450 enzymes responsible for thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) metabolism. Clinical data are limited.

MANAGEMENT: Clinical monitoring of patient response, including laboratory serum TSH concentrations, is recommended. Adjustment of thyroid replacement dosage may be indicated when initiating or discontinuing barbiturate therapy.
