Levothyroxine recall?
Has anybody else received a letter about this? I just received a letter in the mail from CVS Caremark that there was a recall on November 18,2024 for levothyroxine sodium tablets from Mylan Pharmaceuticals. Had no idea that this happened and am a bit worried that it could have affected the ones I last picked up and have affects on how the medication works. This is what the letter states.
