LGM Pharma LLC is recalling approximately 1,307 kilograms of Thyroid Powder, USP (manufactured by Sichuan Friendly Pharmaceutical Co., LTD) because the powder contains inconsistent levels of the active ingredients levothyroxine and liothyronine. This thyroid hormone replacement medication, distributed in 25kg drums, was found to have manufacturing deviations that could result in patients receiving too much or too little of their prescribed hormone. No specific injuries have been reported, but the inconsistent potency poses a significant health risk to consumers relying on these medications for thyroid management.
Inconsistent levels of thyroid hormones can cause symptoms of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). This can lead to serious metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurological complications if the dosage is significantly higher or lower than what is required for the patient.
