Description
Eltroxin is a synthetic form of thyroxine (levothyroxine), a hormone that plays a vital role in regulating the body’s metabolism, energy production, and overall hormonal balance. It is prescribed to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough natural thyroid hormone.
When thyroid hormone levels are low, the body’s systems slow down. Common symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity, dry skin, depression, and difficulty concentrating. Eltroxin works by restoring normal levels of thyroxine in the blood, helping to reverse these symptoms and support normal physiological function.
Eltroxin is taken orally, usually once a day on an empty stomach, ideally in the morning. Consistent daily use helps stabilize hormone levels, and most people begin to notice improvements in energy, mood, and metabolism within a few weeks. The dosage is tailored to the individual based on thyroid hormone levels, age, weight, and other medical conditions.
Most patients begin to notice improvements in energy, mood, and metabolism within 1 to 2 weeks, although full therapeutic effect may take several weeks. The dose is individualized based on TSH and free T4 levels, as well as the patient’s age, body weight, and comorbid conditions.
Long-term treatment with Eltroxin is often necessary, as hypothyroidism is typically a chronic condition. Regular blood tests are required to monitor thyroid function and ensure the correct dose is being maintained.
Eltroxin is generally well tolerated. Mild side effects may occur if the dose is too high, including restlessness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, or insomnia, signs of too much thyroid hormone. It should not be used in cases of untreated adrenal insufficiency or in people allergic to any of its ingredients.
General Information
Eltroxin is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4), used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid does not produce enough hormones.
It is used to restore normal thyroid hormone levels in people with underactive thyroid function, helping to regulate metabolism, energy, and mood.
It replaces the natural thyroxine that the thyroid gland would normally produce, restoring hormonal balance and supporting key bodily functions.
Dosage varies per individual based on thyroid hormone levels, age, and other factors. It is typically taken once daily in the morning.
Many people begin to feel better within 1 to 2 weeks, with full effects often seen after several weeks of consistent use. Full therapeutic effect can take 4–6 weeks of consistent use.
