Accord Healthcare recalls 1000-count levothyroxine tablets due to subpotent drug levels. This means the medication may not provide the intended thyroid hormone dose, potentially causing treatment failure. Consumers should contact their doctor for guidance.
Subpotent Drug: Assay below the approved specification
Accord Healthcare is recalling 1000-count levothyroxine tablets that may not contain enough active ingredient. This could lead to ineffective treatment for thyroid conditions. Affected patients should consult their doctor before using these tablets.
The tablets contain less active thyroid hormone than specified, meaning they may not provide the intended dose. This could result in inadequate treatment for thyroid conditions. However, the risk is not immediate harm but potential treatment failure.
People prescribed levothyroxine who have the specific 1000-count bottle with NDC 16729-456-17. Those with thyroid conditions are most at risk of treatment failure.
Check for the 1000-count bottle labeled 'Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets, USP, 175 mcg (0.175 mg)' with NDC 16729-456-17. The lot number is D2300042 and expiration date is 12/31/2025.
Verify the product label matches the recalled item: 1000-count bottle with NDC 16729-456-17.
Talk to your healthcare provider about alternative thyroid medication options if you have the recalled product.
The tablets may contain less active thyroid hormone than specified, which could lead to ineffective treatment.
No serious injury risk is described; the hazard is potential treatment failure due to insufficient medication.
Look for the 1000-count bottle with NDC 16729-456-17 and lot number D2300042.
