Tirosint-SOL's unique liquid formulation is made without excipients such as dyes, wheat starch (gluten), lactose, alcohol, sugar and others that may contribute to tolerability and absorption issues. It is packaged in monodose ampules in 12 different dosage strengths, including a 13 mcg/mL dose. Tirosint-SOL may be administered either directly into the mouth or diluted in a glass of water.
