Brief Answer:
There is no difference

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HCM. I have gone through the question and understand your concerns.

Both Eltroxin and Thyronorm are two brands of same medication - Thyroxine. (Just like Calpol and Dolo for paracetamol). The TSH of 2.1 and 2.9 is not significantly different. So you can continue with any one medication- Eltroxin or Thyronorm.

Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you.
