ELTROXIN 100 100.S

About

Eltroxin 100mcg Tablet contains Levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic thyroid hormone identical to the thyroxine (T4) naturally produced by the thyroid gland. It is a cornerstone medication for the treatment of hypothyroidism, a condition characterized by insufficient thyroid hormone production. Levothyroxine functions by replacing the deficient hormone, thereby regulating various metabolic processes throughout the body. Thyroid hormones are vital for energy metabolism, protein synthesis, and the proper functioning of virtually all organ systems, including the cardiovascular, nervous, and gastrointestinal systems. Consistent daily administration of Eltroxin helps to normalize thyroid hormone levels, resolve the symptoms of hypothyroidism, and prevent the long-term complications associated with an underactive thyroid.
