Carbidopa/Levodopa Recall

This post is only of interest to the small number in our support group who take carbidopa/levodopa (better known by the brand name Sinemet).

Last Wednesday, 8-27-14, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries issued a voluntary recall in the US of one lot of its carbidopa/levodopa 25mg/100mg medication because testing showed that the medication is “super potent.”

The website NewsInferno.com says:  “According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the lot number involved is 29C220 and the expiry date is 11/15.”

If you have this medication, return it to the pharmacy.
