What was recalled
Benztropine Mesylate Tablets, USP in all pack sizes, styles and strengths Manufactured for: Qualitest Pharmaceuticals Huntsville, AL 35811
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.
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.
Presence of particulate matter: characterized as thin colorless flakes that are visually and chemically consistent with glass delamination observed in reserve sample vials
