Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lloyd Inc. of Iowa is recalling 761 bottles of LLOYD Thyro-Tabs Canine (levothyroxine sodium tablets, USP), 0.1 mg, which are used to treat hypothyroidism in dogs. The product was found to be 'super-potent,' meaning it tested higher than the required specification for the active ingredient during a 6-month stability test. This recall affects 1,000-tablet bottles distributed nationwide. Because this is a veterinary medication, owners should contact their veterinarian for guidance on treatment and return any unused bottles to the place of purchase for a refund.

Risk

The tablets contain a higher concentration of the active ingredient, levothyroxine sodium, than listed on the label. Administering a super-potent dose to a canine can lead to hyperthyroidism-like symptoms or other adverse metabolic effects.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your dog's medication for LLOYD Thyro-Tabs Canine (levothyroxine sodium tablets, USP), 0.1 mg, packaged in 1,000-tablet bottles (NDC 11789-251-20).
  2. Verify if your bottle matches lot number VKB12114 with an expiration date of 9/30/2016.
  3. Contact your veterinarian or healthcare provider immediately to discuss your pet's health and determine if a replacement medication is needed.
  4. Return any unused portions of the affected medication to the pharmacy or clinic where it was purchased for a full refund.
  5. Contact the manufacturer, Lloyd Inc. of Iowa, at 604 W Thomas Ave, Shenandoah, IA, for further instructions regarding this recall.
