Thyroxine is used to restore lost thyroid hormone and/or to reduce stress on the thyroid gland. Hypothyroidism is a chronic disorder in which our thyroid gland (located under the throat in the neck) fails to generate adequate thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormones are made up of tri-iodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) and regulate the body's metabolism. Underactive thyroid causes the body's metabolism to slow down, making the person feel less energized. Other symptoms include fatigue, constipation, weight gain, feeling chilly even in warm weather, dry skin, excessive or insufficient menstruation (in women), and poor mood. Hypothyroidism treatment is necessary for restoring normal body metabolism (basal metabolic rate). If you have any of the symptoms listed above, your doctor will recommend that you have a 'thyroid function test', which tests three thyroid hormones: TSH, T3, and T4. High TSH and low T3/T4 levels suggest that your thyroid gland is not working properly. Your doctor will change the dose of Eltroxin 100 mcg Tablet based on your body weight and the results of your thyroid function tests. The drug may take several weeks to fully take action. Regular thyroid function monitoring is recommended to verify that you are receiving the correct dose of Eltroxin 100 mcg Tablet. Take Eltroxin 100 mcg Tablet as directed by your doctor.

Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a chronic disorder in which the thyroid gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormones to fulfill your body's requirements. When thyroid hormone levels are low, our bodies' functioning and metabolism slow down. Tiredness, heightened cold sensitivity, constipation, dry skin, unexplained weight gain, swollen face, hoarse voice, and muscular weakness are all symptoms of hypothyroidism. Some forms of hypothyroidism may result in a loss of calcium and vitamin D.
