Hi,
There is no difference between thyronorm and eltroxcin as both contain thyroxine.Regarding increase in dose this is done based on your TSH value measured every 6-8 weeks and during the initial phase it will need some titration to achieve an exact dose for you. Follow your doctor's advice regarding diet etc . Wish you a better health.
