RLC Labs Inc. is recalling all lots of Nature-Throid and WP Thyroid (thyroid USP) within their expiration dates because they are subpotent, meaning they contain less active medication than required. These prescription medications are used to treat an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). The recall affects various strengths ranging from 1/4 grain to 3 grains, sold in bottle sizes from 30 to 1,000 counts. Testing by the FDA confirmed that the products do not meet the potency specifications, which could result in patients receiving an insufficient dose of thyroid hormones.
Patients taking subpotent thyroid medication may experience symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as fatigue, weight gain, constipation, depression, and increased sensitivity to cold. For vulnerable populations like pregnant women or the elderly, an inadequate dose of thyroid hormone can lead to more serious health complications, including heart issues or developmental problems for a fetus.
Refund for unused product returned to pharmacies.
