Dextrothyroxine (trade name Choloxin) is a dextrorotary isomer of thyroxine.^[1] It saw research as a cholesterol-lowering drug^[2] but was pulled due to cardiac side-effects. It increases hepatic lipase which in turn improves utilization of triglycerides and decreases levels of lipoprotein(a) in blood serum.^[3]
