Yes, Eltroxin is a THYROID HORMONE.

Some commonly used brand names are:

Armour Thyroid
Cytomel
Levo-T
Levothroid
Levoxyl
Synthroid
Thyrar
Thyroid Strong
Thyrolar
Triostat
Westhroid

Eltroxin is less powerfull than T3 or T4. Those who used it says, that with fat it also burns your muscles.

ELTROXIN contains the active ingredient thyroxine.

ELTROXIN is used to treat hypothyroidism, a disease in which the thyroid gland is underactive and does not produce enough thyroxine, a hormone, which is important for controlling your metabolism. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include tiredness, muscle weakness, cramps, feeling the cold, a slow heart rate, dry and flaky skin, hair loss, a deep husky voice and weight gain.

ELTROXIN is also used to treat children born with hypothyroidism (congenital), those who develop hypothyroidism in the first year of life (neonatal) and children who have hypothyroidism as part of juvenile myxoedema, a condition in which the amount of thyroxine produced by the body is low.

ELTROXIN belongs to a small group of medicines called thyroid hormones, which work by replacing the body's low levels of thyroxine.

Do not take ELTROXIN if:

You are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

ELTROXIN is not thought to be harmful to an unborn baby when taken by a pregnant woman. However, thyroxine levels need to be watched carefully during pregnancy because too much or too little thyroxine in the mother's bloodstream could affect the well-being of an unborn baby.


You are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed.

Although the active ingredient in ELTROXIN, thyroxine, passes into breast milk, it is not likely to have a harmful effect on a baby. However, it might interfere with the results of tests to detect congenital hypothyroidism in the baby. You should not breastfeed unless your doctor says you can.


You have any other health problems, especially:
Diabetes
Heart disease
High blood pressure
Underactive adrenal glands

Side Effects

Severe skin rash, itching or hives.
Swelling of the face, lips, mouth or throat.
Difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Fever.
Low blood pressure (feeling faint or dizzy).
However, these symptoms do not necessarily mean that you are allergic to ELTROXIN.

Tell your doctor if you notice any of the following:

Diarrhoea
Vomiting
Palpitations (irregular heartbeat)
Chest pain
Sweating/flushing
Weight loss
Muscle weakness/cramps, tremors
Rapid breathing
Fever
Headache
Inability to sleep
Feeling restless/excited

The above side effects are rare with ELTROXIN and usually mean that your daily ELTROXIN dose is too high.

Now about the dosages. You will see the number on them if it is 100 then the tab is 100 mcg and half of it is 50, so it is important to consider those 0,5 or 1,5. You will also need to taper down it slowly.

How slowly should i come down do you personly think eltroxin makes you catabolic

You may come down as it was prescribed in the cycle from your friend.
An increased level of thyroid hormones can be extremely catabolic and the use of anabolic compounds to counter muscle loss is a requirement here.
