Humco Holding Group, Inc. is recalling various lots of Thyroid USP (Porcine) and Thyroid USP (Full Strength) active pharmaceutical ingredients because they contain inconsistent levels of the active medications levothyroxine and liothyronine. This recall affects approximately 10 kilograms of the full-strength powder and an unknown quantity of the porcine thyroid powder. Consumers who are prescribed medications compounded with these ingredients may receive too much or too little of their required thyroid hormone therapy, which can lead to serious health complications. The affected products were distributed nationwide to pharmacies and healthcare facilities.
Inconsistent levels of active ingredients can cause either hyperthyroidism (too much hormone) or hypothyroidism (too little hormone), leading to symptoms such as heart palpitations, fatigue, weight changes, and more severe metabolic imbalances. No specific injuries have been reported to date, but the deviation from manufacturing standards makes the product unsafe for use.
