Which of the following is likely a potential side effect of Liotrix (Thyrolar)?
  1. Suicidal ideation
  2. Arrhythmias
  3. Constipation
  4. Dry skin
Explanation
Answer: B - Liotrix (Thyrolar) is a synthetic thyroid hormone replacement. The most likely side effect is arrhythmias. Suicidal ideation is not known to be associated with liotrix use. Diarrhea is more likely than constipation and diaphoresis (sweating) is more likely than dry skin. Both dry skin and constipation tend to be more closely associated with hypothyroidism and not hyperthyroidism.
