1 of these recalls is still ongoing.
Labeling: Wrong Barcode- One (1) of every forty (40) unit dose blister will contain incorrect barcode information that causes a 125mcg unit dose is scanned as 200mcg unit dose.
Labeling: Label Mixup: LEVOTHYROXINE SODIUM, Tablet, 125 mcg may have potentially been mislabeled as the following drug: MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE DR, Tablet, 64 mg, NDC 00904791152, Pedigree: AD70615_1, EXP: 2/28/2014.
Where to find this code. The NDC is printed on the pharmacy label and on the manufacturer's carton, usually as three groups of digits after “NDC”. The last group is the package size — two bottles of the same medicine can differ only in that group, and a recall may cover one but not the other.
