How Thyrowin Tablet works
Dextrothyroxine is a lipid modifying agent that acts in the liver to increase breakdown (catabolism) of LDL (a type of bad cholesterol) to smaller sub units. This leads to increased excretion of cholesterol and bile acids via the biliary route into the feces, with a resulting reduction in cholesterol and LDL.
