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.
Failed Dissolution Specifications: Failure results (above) were reported for the Dissolution (by UV) test for commercial annual stability at the long-term shelf life stability interval, wherein the dissolution results do not comply with L3 stage dissolution criteria.
CGMP Deviations: poor manufacturing practices resulted in Labeling: Incorrect or Missing Lot and/or Exp Date, product incorrectly labeled with incorrect lot and expiration date.
Penicillin Cross Contamination: All lots of all products repackaged and distributed between 01/05/12 and 02/12/15 are being recalled because they were repackaged in a facility with penicillin products without adequate separation which could introduce the potential for cross contamination with penicillin.
