[WARNING] FDA Recalls ANOTHER Common Drug

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
It feels like every other week, there’s another FDA prescription medicine recall.
Whether it’s for hand or or anxiety , Big Pharma sure keeps them on their toes.
Why DOES this keep happening?
Rushing drugs to market before they’re ready… making sub-par products… lax factory supervision…
Whatever the cause is, it’s happened yet again.
The FDA has just recalled this common prescription drug… and it could affect millions of people.
But don’t worry—I’m going to tell you everything you need to know.
The FDA recently announced a recall of 35 commercial lots of the thyroid medication levothyroxine (Synthroid, Tirosint, Levoxyl) and liothyronine (Triostat).
The manufacturer, Acella Pharmaceuticals, made a critical error… they left out the active ingredient.
Kind of an important thing to miss!
If you have hypothyroidism, you’re probably familiar with this medication. And if you’ve noticed a return of your symptoms like depression, constipation, weight gain, and lack of energy, this could be why.
And if you have also been diagnosed with heart health issues, you could face cardiac pain, palpitations, and irregular heartbeat (if you’re experiencing any of these, call your doctor immediately).
Our prescription drugs used to be made in America, but now they’re manufactured overseas, mostly in China. Drug companies are doing this to help their bottom line, but it’s a deadly business.
But what people don’t expect is that the drugs they are taking are full of cancer-causing chemicals or don’t have enough (or too many) active ingredients.
If you think your drugs may be on the list of recalled drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
You can find information about what specific batches have been recalled right .
It’s important to note that you should never stop any medication suddenly. Talk to your doctor about how to safely get a new prescription if yours has been recalled.
P.S. Living with thyroid problems means being much more aware of your health… and it can be downright exhausting. Make sure this device isn’t making your job harder, because researchers have just discovered that it could be the CAUSE of thyroid issues. Find out more here.
