Levothyroxine sodium, the active ingredient in Eltroxin 100 mcg Tablet, is a synthetic form of the thyroxine (T4) hormone naturally produced by the thyroid gland. Once administered, it is converted into triiodothyronine (T3), the active form of the hormone, which then binds to thyroid receptor proteins in the cell nucleus. This binding influences DNA transcription and protein synthesis, leading to increased metabolic activity and energy production, thereby alleviating symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormones, leading to a slowed metabolism. This can cause fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, hair thinning, dry skin, and depression.
Eltroxin 100 mcg Tablet is a synthetic thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism by supplementing levothyroxine sodium. It regulates metabolism, boosts energy levels, and prevents complications associated with an underactive thyroid. It must be taken consistently and as directed by a doctor.
