Viatris Inc. is recalling 560,785 bottles of Mylan Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets because tests found the medication may be too strong (superpotent) or too weak (subpotent). This recall affects multiple dosage strengths and both 90-count and 1000-count bottles. When a medication does not have the correct potency, it may not effectively treat the patient's condition or could cause unintended side effects. These products were distributed nationwide throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
Taking medication that is stronger or weaker than prescribed can cause thyroid levels to become unbalanced. Subpotent tablets may fail to treat hypothyroidism, while superpotent tablets could lead to symptoms of an overactive thyroid, such as rapid heartbeat, anxiety, or weight loss.
