Wrong dose!

My wife ha thyroid cancer and has been taking two meds to control her thyroid level.

She just noticed that some of the pills she got are the wrong dose - 175 MG instead of the prescribed 75 MG.

If she has taken the 175 MG pills she would have ended up in the hospital with tachycardia or worse.

Check your meds. They are powerful and potentially deadly.
