Prescription drugs can be recalled for any number of reasons. Sometimes they are contaminated with substances that make them dangerous, or maybe they were mislabeled and ended up in the wrong packaging. Rarely, however, does a drug face recall because the company that produces it believes it's not working as well as it should, but that's exactly what is happening with Acella Pharmaceuticals and its "NP Thyroid" thyroid tablets.
According to a recall bulletin released by the company, "routine testing" of the pills found that they are sub potent. The test results revealed that there is less than 90% of the appropriate amount of the active ingredient(s), T3, and/or T4 thyroid hormones. The pills are used to treat hypothyroidism, which is an underactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid, but they are routinely confused). Now, the company is asking that anyone with the affected medications return them.
