Xanax XR
Failed Dissolution Specifications
Alprazolam C-IV 2 mg
Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
Why it was recalled
CGMP Deviations: The Recall is due to the potential cross-contamination at the contract manufacturer (Ultra Tab Laboratories Inc.)
Cause type: Cross-contamination
Traces of another drug - most often penicillin - got into the product from shared equipment or facilities. Even trace penicillin can trigger a severe allergic reaction in someone who was never meant to receive it. All cross-contamination 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.
