Synthroid Mechanism of Action 

This hormone’s main action focuses on controlling DNA transcription and protein synthesis. This is a synthetically prepared levo-isomer of thyroxine or T4, which acts as a replacement. It is responsible for increasing the metabolic rate and decreasing thyroid-stimulating hormone production. 

How to Take Synthroid
