Macleods Pharma recalls 150 mcg levothyroxine tablets due to subpotent drug levels. This may not provide proper thyroid hormone treatment. Consumers should contact pharmacy for guidance.
Subpotent Drug
Macleods Pharma is recalling 150 mcg levothyroxine sodium tablets because they may not contain enough active ingredient. This could lead to inadequate thyroid hormone treatment if the medication is not taken correctly.
The tablets may contain less active levothyroxine than labeled, meaning they might not provide the intended thyroid hormone dose. This could result in insufficient treatment for thyroid conditions if the medication is not taken as directed.
People prescribed levothyroxine who own this specific 1000-tablet bottle. Those with thyroid conditions are most at risk of treatment failure.
Look for the bottle labeled 'Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets USP 150 mcg, 1000 Tablets' with NDC 33342-401-44. The lot number 16240062A was manufactured in Princeton, NJ, and expires March 2026.
Verify the product label matches the recalled item: 150 mcg levothyroxine tablets, 1000 tablets, NDC 33342-401-44, lot 16240062A.
