Both are thyroid hormones: T3 and T4 respectively. The approved indications are the same for both drugs: thyroid replacement/supplement in low-thyroid states (hypothyroidism), for pituatary TSH suppression, and as diagnostic agents.

If you are on both, ask your endocrinologist why not one or the other.
