PD-Rx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: Nature-Throid Thyroid Medication Recalled for Sub-potency Concerns

Agency Publication Date: October 2, 2020

Summary

PD-Rx Pharmaceuticals is recalling 20 bottles of Nature-Throid 1 GR (65 mg) tablets, which are used to treat hypothyroidism. The medication was repackaged under conditions similar to products that were found to be sub-potent, meaning they may not contain the full amount of active ingredients required. Taking sub-potent thyroid medication can lead to symptoms of an underactive thyroid, such as fatigue, weight gain, and sensitivity to cold. You should contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance and return any unused product to the pharmacy for a refund.

Risk

The tablets may be sub-potent, failing to provide the intended dose of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) to the patient. This can result in ineffective treatment of thyroid conditions, potentially causing a recurrence of hypothyroidism symptoms.

What You Should Do

Check your medication bottle for the product name 'Nature-Throid 1 GR (65 mg)' and NDC number 43063-819-01.
Identify if your bottle is part of the affected lot by looking for Lot #: J18C68 with an expiration date of 10/31/20.
If your medication matches these details, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately to discuss your treatment and obtain a replacement prescription.
Return any remaining unused tablets in the original bottle to the pharmacy where you purchased them for a refund.
Contact PD-Rx Pharmaceuticals at their Oklahoma City facility or via the distributor information provided on your packaging for further instructions.
