    i saw this yesterday and I know that @Ken Anderson and maybe a few others on here take some sort of thyroid meds.

    https://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm616601.htm

    Thankfully mine isn't included but I did call Walgreens to double check and I'm fine.

    Ive noticed that a lot of things that come from China have issues.

    I had seen that, but mine wasn't among the recalled ones.

    I think these are a combination of two different thyroid meds.

    My pharmacist said it was the natural thyroid brand that was an issue but don't quote me on that.

    Anyway, I'm on the 75mcg and that's not even listed.

    But as usual in tense recalls, more may be added later, lol

    Think that was the case with that BP med recall...forget the name but I'll be back with it in a sec.

    Edit: Valsartan

    I am taking Levothyroxine but the recall was for specific doses, neither of which were mine.
