Pantoprazole Sodium

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

Discoloration: Firm received five (5) complaints stating that, "Tablets discolored darker than normal and have lighter-colored spots."

Cause type: Failed specification

A physical or chemical test other than potency, dissolution, impurity or stability failed - pH, viscosity, appearance, tablet integrity, fill volume. A product outside its own specification may not perform as designed, even if the active ingredient is present. All failed specification 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.
