L-thyroxine Vs Thyroxine
UpdatedI have been taking Euthyrox, which is Levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic L-Thyroxine (T4), to treat my hypothyroid. Then I read about Thyroxine, which, according to one source, contains both triiodothyronine (T3 and T4), and the effects are not the same as taking T4 alone. But else where on the internet, L-Thyroxine is regarded as the same as Thyroxine, except that the former is more potent than the latter. Is that all the difference between the two?
