Eltroxin 100mcg Tablets are a prescription thyroid hormone replacement medication containing levothyroxine sodium anhydrous 100mcg per tablet, manufactured by GSK. Prescribed for the long-term management of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland), Eltroxin restores deficient thyroxine levels - supporting metabolism, energy production, and overall hormonal balance. Available at MedX Pharmacy in the UAE, it is one of the most widely prescribed thyroid medications in the world.

How It Works

The thyroid gland normally produces thyroxine (T4), a hormone that regulates the body's rate of metabolism, heart rate, body temperature, and energy use. In hypothyroidism, the gland produces insufficient T4, leading to symptoms including persistent fatigue, unexplained weight gain, cold sensitivity, hair loss, dry skin, and depression. Eltroxin supplies a synthetic form of T4 - levothyroxine sodium - which is absorbed in the small intestine and converted in peripheral tissues into triiodothyronine (T3), the biologically active form of thyroid hormone. Regular blood tests measuring thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) allow your doctor to fine-tune the dose to maintain levels within the optimal therapeutic range.

Important Information

Eltroxin 100mcg Tablets are a long-term prescription medicine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or adjusting the dose. Do not switch between levothyroxine brands without medical supervision, as bioavailability may differ between products. Regular TSH monitoring is essential throughout treatment. Eltroxin must not be initiated during acute myocardial infarction, acute myocarditis, or untreated adrenal insufficiency. Patients over 50 years and those with cardiac conditions should have their dose introduced gradually under medical supervision. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy, as thyroid hormone requirements may change significantly.
