Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Virbac AH, Inc. has recalled 876 bottles of Thyrosyn 0.5 mg (Levothyroxine Sodium) tablets because the products are labeled with an incorrect expiration date and are already past their actual shelf life. These tablets, which are packaged in 1,000-count bottles, are used to treat thyroid conditions in animals. Using expired medication can result in the drug being less effective, meaning your pet may not be receiving the proper dose required to manage their health condition.

Risk

Because the product is past its expiration date, the active ingredients may have degraded, leading to reduced potency. This can cause the pet's underlying thyroid condition to remain untreated or poorly controlled despite regular dosing.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pet's medication bottle for Thyrosyn 0.5 mg (Levothyroxine Sodium) Tablets in 1,000-count bottles.
  2. Look for lot number 140112 and an expiration date of 12/2016 printed on the label.
  3. Verify the bottle has NDC number 50989-275-53 and UPC code 3 50989 27553 2.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist immediately to discuss your pet's health and to arrange for a safe replacement medication.
  5. Return any unused product to the pharmacy or clinic where it was purchased for a refund.
  6. Contact the manufacturer, Virbac AH, Inc., for further instructions regarding this recall.
