A drug manufacturer is recalling bottles of thyroid medication because the drug was made with active ingredients that were not sourced to proper FDA standards.
According to the FDA, Westminster Pharmaceuticals issued the voluntary recall last week for all lots of Levothyroxine and Liothyronine. The company says it has not received any reports of any injury or illness related to the recall.
The recall includes tablets of Levothyroxine and Liothyronine with the following dosage: 15 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, 90 mg, and 120 mg. “It’s safe to take, the exact precise milligrams might not be perfect,” said Dr. Paul Sack, an endocrinologist at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital.
