Dr. Chinmaya Bal MBBS , General Physician

Throid contains thyroxine which is a synthetic form of naturally occurring thyroid hormone that is produced by the thyroid gland (butterfly gland) in our body. It works by restoring the normal levels of thyroxine in the body whose deficiency is resulting in the disease or disorder. Thyroid hormone helps in the synthesis and regulation of certain hormones (adrenaline and dopamine).
