Westminster Pharmaceuticals, LLC is voluntarily recalling all lots, within expiry, of Levothyroxine and Liothyronine. The FDA encourages patients and health care professionals to report any adverse reaction to the MedWatch program.
Why are these medications being recalled?
These products are being recalled as a precaution because they were manufactured using active pharmaceutical ingredients that were sourced prior to a 2017 inspection which discovered deficiencies with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). While there is risk involved in taking this product, to date, Westminster Pharmaceuticals has not received any reports of adverse events related to this product.
What products are recalled?
You can find a detailed list of the products, lot numbers and expirations dates listed on the FDA’s website.
Next steps you should take
Because Levothyroxine and Liothyronine is used to treat serious medical conditions, patients taking the recalled medicines should continue taking their medicine until they have a replacement product.
Patients who are taking Levothyroxine or Liothyronine should contact the pharmacy that dispensed their medication to determine if their prescription is affected. If your medication is one of the affected products the pharmacy can work with your physician to obtain a new prescription if necessary.
