ELTROXIN 25MG TAB 60.S

About

Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet contains Levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic form of the naturally occurring thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). It is primarily used as hormone replacement therapy for individuals with hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Levothyroxine works by supplementing the body's natural thyroid hormone levels, which are crucial for regulating metabolism, energy production, growth, and development. Adequate thyroid hormone levels are essential for the proper functioning of various organ systems, including the heart, brain, and digestive tract. Treatment with Eltroxin helps alleviate the symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and depression, restoring the body to a euthyroid state.
