Failed Dissolution Specifications
Cross contamination with other products: This sub-recall is being initiated in support of the recall by the manufacturer (Sandoz) dated 11/1/18, which included lots that were repackaged by American Health Packaging. Sandoz stated that "These lots are being recalled due to the potential presence of unrelated ingredients (i.e. traces of active ingredients of Benazepril, Haloperidol and Perphenazine), which were identified through a manufacturing investigation."
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.
