HOW EUTHYROX 50MCG TABLET WORKS
EUTHYROX
50MCG TABLET is a synthetic thyroid hormone which is identical to
natural occurring thyroid hormone thyroxine or T4, produced by the
thyroid gland. Thyroxine regulates the production of another hormone
called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) which in turn controls how much
thyroxine is produced. Levothyroxine regulates TSH production in the
same way and therefore, substitutes for a lack of endogenous thyroxine
(produced by the thyroid gland).
