Articadent · 50 CARTRIDGE in 1 CARTON (66312-601-16) / 1.7 mL in 1 CARTRIDGE
Yes — this exact package was recalled
1 FDA recall names the code 66312-0601-16 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.
Active ingredient
Articaine hydrochloride and Epinephrine Bitartrate
Labeling: Not Elsewhere Classified. This recall has been initiated due to mislabeling. The printed carton used in manufacturing both batches contained text for both 2% Xylocaine DENTAL and Articadent DENTAL. Xylocaine DENTAL is a trade name for Lidocaine HCL 2% and Epinephrine 1: 100,000 formulation, while Articadent DENTAL is a trade name for Articaine HCI 4% and Epinephrine 1 :100,000. The cartridges contained within the printed carton are labeled appropriately as Articadent DENTAL.
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.
