Just received this MHRA alert:

Company led medicines recall: Vertical Pharma Resources Ltd T/A IPS Pharma, Levothyroxine Oral Suspension (Various Strengths) [unlicensed medicine], CLMR(23)A/03

IPS Pharma is recalling specific batches of levothyroxine oral suspension from pharmacies and impacted patients due to the concentration of levothyroxine being greater than the amount stated on the label.

This is peculiar as the alert notice states:

Levothyroxine Oral Suspension (Various Strengths) [unlicensed medicine]

IPS Pharma appear to be a specialist importer and do things like supply unlicensed drugs for trials.
