They're the same: Hi. Eltroxin and Thyronorm are both trade names for levothyroxine; they're the same thing. You're fine doing it how you're doing it. Your doctor wants to get your TSH suppressed to a certain level. That is done with levothyroxine;trade names don't matter. Good luck, and may your thyroglobulin always remain undetectable!
