Lloyd Inc: Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets Recalled for Potential Loss of Potency

Agency Publication Date: February 6, 2012

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lloyd Inc has recalled approximately 3,761 units of Levothyroxine sodium tablets (0.4 mg) sold under various brand names including Thyro-Tabs, Thyrosyn, Thyroxine L, and Thyrozine. This recall is being issued because the medication may not maintain its required strength or potency throughout its labeled shelf-life. If the medication loses potency, animals being treated for thyroid conditions may not receive the intended dosage, which could lead to ineffective treatment of their medical condition. These products were distributed nationwide in various bottle sizes ranging from 120 to 1,000 tablets.

Risk

The product may lose its chemical potency before the expiration date, meaning it will not provide the full 0.4 mg dose of levothyroxine sodium required for the animal's health. This can lead to the recurrence of hypothyroidism symptoms in pets due to under-medication.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the affected medication by checking the brand name and NDC number on the bottle label. Recalled products include: LLOYD Thyro-Tabs (NDC 11789-254-10), VET A MIX Thyro-Tabs (NDC 11789-254-20), VEDCO Thyrosyn (NDC 50989-284-86 or 50989-284-53), BUTLER SCHEIN Thyroxine L (NDC 11695-4464-2), or PHOENIX Thyrozine (NDC 57319-334-16).
  2. Consult with your veterinarian or pharmacist immediately to determine if your pet's medication is part of the recall and to arrange for a replacement prescription.
  3. Return any unused portion of the recalled medication to the pharmacy or veterinary clinic where it was purchased to obtain a refund.
  4. Contact Lloyd Inc at their Shenandoah, Iowa location for further instructions or questions regarding this recall.
  5. For additional information, you can contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at 240-402-7002.
