How does Eltroxin work? 100 mcg Eltroxin tablets contain levothyroxine, a synthetic thyroid hormone that is identical to the thyroid hormone thyroxine or T4 produced by the thyroid gland. Levothyroxine is converted into a more active form of the thyroid hormone (T3), which interacts with a specific receptor inside the cells to stimulate the proteins needed to control and regulate various processes, including how the body regulates temperature, metabolizes nutrients and controls growth and development. Thyroxine regulates the production of another hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which, in turn, controls how much thyroxine is produced. 100 mcg Eltroxin tablets regulate TSH production in the same way and, therefore, make up for the deficiency of endogenous thyroxin (produced by the thyroid gland).
