Liothyronine Sodium USP Recalled for Missing Stability Data

American Pharmaceutical Ingredients LLC is recalling Liothyronine Sodium USP for prescription compounding due to a lack of stability data supporting the expiration date.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The hazard is a documentation and stability data issue rather than a confirmed contamination or injury event.
