RECALL (1/20/15): Virbac Recalls SOLOXINE Thyroid Supplement

Virbac U.S. is conducting a voluntary recall on four lots of SOLOXINE (levothyroxine sodium) Thyroid Supplement due to low potency.

The lot number is listed on the side of the bottle in a text field on the product label.

Affected strengths and lot numbers are:  

• SOLOXINE 0.2 mg - lot number 100775 
• SOLOXINE 0.3 mg - lot number 100342
• SOLOXINE 0.6 mg - lot numbers 100739 and 091277 

 
No adverse reactions or illnesses have been reported with these lots. 

In most cases the clinical signs of a dog receiving a low potency levothyroxine product for a short period of time are unnoticeable. However, in some cases, a dog that is not receiving an appropriate amount of levothyroxine may show common signs of hypothyroidism including lethargy, weight gain, or hair loss.

Concerned owners should contact their veterinarian regarding the start of a new lot of the product, as well as to set up thyroid testing 30 days after starting on a new lot.
