Thyrox contains Levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). It acts by restoring deficient thyroid hormone levels, thereby normalizing metabolic processes controlled by thyroid hormones.

Absorption may be affected by calcium, iron supplements, antacids, and certain foods. Drugs like warfarin, insulin, and some antidepressants may require dose adjustment.
Contraindications:
Untreated thyrotoxicosis, acute myocardial infarction, and hypersensitivity to Levothyroxine.
Side Effects:
Symptoms of overdose include palpitations, tremors, nervousness, insomnia, weight loss, and heat intolerance. Proper dosing minimizes adverse effects.
