Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the safety of a reformulated levothyroxine sodium in France, prompted by a request for stricter potency specifications, after an increase in reported adverse events despite previous bioequivalence and purity assurance.
- - Data from safety reports were collected for both old and new formulations, showing a stark increase in total reports for the new formulation, but with most adverse events being non-serious and rates generally comparable between the two formulations.
- - The analysis concluded that the new formulation has a safety profile similar to the old one, indicating that the overall benefits of the new treatment still outweigh the risks associated with its use.
Background: Considerable variations in diagnosis and therapeutic practices are reported for hyperthyroidism (HT) between countries.
