1 FDA recall names the code 53489-0146-01 directly. A recall still applies to particular lot numbers — compare the lot on your package with the FDA notice below, and talk to your pharmacist before stopping a prescribed medication.
Presence of Foreign Substance:Sun Pharma is recalling one (1) lot of Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim Tablets USP, 800 mg/160 mg (500 ct.) because a foreign matter identified as polyethylene was detected in two (2) tablets.
Presence of foreign substance -This recall has been intiated due to the presence of a polyethylene piece on the finished product.
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.
