Thyroid recalls are dominated by POTENCY, not contamination — tablets that assay below or above their labelled strength. That matters more here than for most drugs: levothyroxine is dosed in micrograms and titrated to a blood test, so a tablet that is subpotent under-treats hypothyroidism and one that is superpotent can push someone into hyperthyroid symptoms, and neither is visible in the pill. Recalls name specific lots and manufacturers. Do not stop thyroid medicine on your own — check your lot against the FDA notice and ask your pharmacist for a replacement, because interrupting it has its own consequences.

How to use this page

A drug appearing here does not mean your prescription is unsafe. Recalls name specific lots and manufacturers — open the recall to see the affected lot numbers, and match them against your bottle. Never stop a blood-pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, antidepressant or antibiotic medicine on your own because of a recall; confirm your lot, then ask your pharmacist for a replacement if it is affected.

Other categories: Blood pressure medication · Eye drop and ophthalmic · Cholesterol medication · Diabetes medication · Antidepressant · Antibiotic · Allergy and antihistamine · Hormonal and contraceptive · ADHD and stimulant medication · Opioid and pain medication · Seizure and epilepsy medication · Asthma and inhaler · Heartburn and acid-reflux medication.

Recalls are matched to this category by the drug names in the FDA’s product description; a small number of category recalls may be missed if the description omits the ingredient. Figures are recall events, not units, and reflect our copy of the FDA data, refreshed daily. This is public regulatory data, not medical advice.
