Superpotent Drug and Subpotent Drug: potency failures obtained
Viatris is recalling 50 mcg levothyroxine tablets that may have potency failures. This means the medication might not work as intended, potentially causing thyroid hormone levels to be too low or too high.
Potency failures mean the medication may not contain the correct amount of active ingredient. This could lead to incorrect thyroid hormone levels, affecting treatment effectiveness.
People prescribed levothyroxine who received these specific bottle sizes and lot numbers. Those with thyroid conditions are most at risk.
