For Anyone taking Acella NP Thyroid
I've just received a notice that Acella is doing a voluntary recall of certain lots of 30 mg, 60 mg and 90 mg NP Thyroid tablets. These lots may contain up to 115% more T3 (Liothyronine) than they're labeled to have.
Taking more Liothyronine (T3) than prescribed can result in over medication. If you take any of these dosages, please contact your pharmacy and/or doctor to make sure you don't have tablets from the lots in question.
The link actually states the lot numbers so if your tablets are dispensed using the bottle from the manufacturer, you can see if it contains any of these numbers. If your medication was transferred to a different bottle and labeled by the pharmacy, you'll have no way of knowing what lot number they came from so you'll need to contact your pharmacy to find out. You may also have to contact your doctor for a new prescription.
The article states that you should not stop taking your medication without direction from your doctor/pharmacy... My note: You should be on the lookout for symptoms of over medication, which may include, but aren't limited to: sudden weight loss, diarrhea, hand tremors, sweats, irrational behavior, shortness of breath, rapid heart rate and/or palpitations.
