These popular drugs are just remembered – talking to your doctor now if you take it

Recipe drugs can be recalled due to a number of reasons. Sometimes they are contaminated with substances that make them dangerous, or maybe they are wrong labels and end up with the wrong packaging. But rarely, whether the face of the drug remembers because the company that produces it believes that it does not work as well as possible, but that is what happens with Acella Pharmaceuticals and “Teroid NP” Thyro

Tablet ID.

According to the bulletin remember released by the company, “routine testing” pills found that they were sub-life. The test results reveal that there are less than 90% of the amount of thyroid hormone thyroid (s), t3, and / or t4 appropriate. These pills are used to treat hypothyroidism, which is a less active thyroid (hyperthyroidism is thyroid that is too active, but they are routinely confused). Now, the company asks anyone with an affected drug returning it.

The risk of using thyroid drugs that sub-ponden is similar to leaving untreated thyroid disorders. Over time, drugs may not be enough to keep symptoms away, causing problems that mimic the thyroid that is less active. This can include sensitivity to cold, dry skin, depression, fatigue, and swelling of the thyroid gland itself. Individuals can also experience a quick weight gain or feel more difficult to lose weight.

The company said that they had received at least 43 reports “from serious bad events that might be attributed to this remember,” but do not provide much detail about what the event is. If they worsen the symptoms of hypothyroidism, it will make sense, because the medicine is not strong enough to prevent them over and over.
