Levoxyl Shortage

‎03-31-2013 06:52 PM

If you take this for hypothyroidism you may want to get as many refills as you can get. The newsletter I just received from Mary Shomon (About.Com) says Apparently, manufacturer Pfizer has had some sort of difficulties with production, resulting in a shortage of Levoxyl, a brand of levothyroxine sodium, used for thyroid hormone replacement treatment in hypothyroidism. According to a letter sent to physicians by Pfizer, the company stopped shipping all strengths of Levoxyl on February 13, 2013. They have said that they will resume shipment once the issue is resolved, but they have not indicated when that will take place. (If you have medically-related questions regarding Levoxyl, call Pfizer Medical Information at 1-800-438-1985.)

If they take as long as Armour did when they had a shortage it was a long time. Glad I'm not taking it. I switched to Erfa Thyroid from Canada during the Amour dilemma.
