Class II · Moderate risk
Ferrous Sulfate 7.5 mg Iron/0.5 mL Oral Syringe
Defective Delivery System: Leakage observed after oral solution was repackaged into unit-dose syringes.
Spironolactone tablets
Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
Why it was recalled
Marketed without an Approved NDA/ANDA: This recall is being initiated because of changes to the dissolution profile in distributed lots resulting from a manufacturing site change. There is currently no approved application supporting the alternate manufacturing site.
Cause type: Unapproved drug
The product was marketed without an approved NDA/ANDA, or does not meet the OTC monograph it claims to follow. Nothing about the product - dose, purity, safety - has been reviewed by FDA, so the claims on the box are unverified. All unapproved drug recalls.

Check, then ask. Class II means harm is possible but usually temporary or reversible. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches, ask your pharmacist about a replacement. Do not simply stop a prescribed medication on your own - the gap can be riskier than the recall. This recall is now terminated, which means the firm has finished removing the affected product; anything on pharmacy shelves today should be unaffected.
