Nature-Throid and WP Thyroid Recalled

August 25, 2020 – RLC Labs has issued a voluntary recall of all lots within expiry of Nature-Throid® (Thyroid USP Tablets) and WP Thyroid® (Thyroid USP Tablets). The manufacturer has found that certain lots are subpotent, containing less than 90% of the labeled amount of liothyronine or levothryroxine.

Nature-Throid and WP Thyroid contain standardized T4 and T3 hormones derived from animal sources – rather than manmade – and are used to treat hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone). As of the date of the recall, no adverse events had been reported related to subpotency of either product.

Patients should not discontinue Nature-Throid or WP Thyroid without first speaking to their healthcare provider about appropriate next steps, which may include obtaining a replacement prescription. Questions regarding the recall should be directed to RLC Labs at 1-877-797-7997 or through their website’s contact page. The full recall announcement can also be found on the RLC Labs website.

There is minimal member impact through Benecard Central Fill, which has reached out to affected members regarding the recall.
