Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Abbott Laboratories is recalling approximately 41,937 units of OroCAM (meloxicam) transmucosal oral spray, a medication used for dogs. Particles were found in a limited number of vials which can clog the spray pump and lead to under-administration of the medication. This recall affects 6 mL, 11 mL, and 33 mL glass vial sizes sold across the United States and several international countries. Consumers should check their supply immediately for the specific lot codes and expiration dates listed below.

Risk

The presence of particles can block the metered-dose pump mechanism, preventing the full dose of meloxicam from being delivered to the pet. This could result in ineffective pain management or treatment for the animal due to receiving less medication than prescribed.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your OroCAM vials for the following US Lot Codes and Expiration Dates: 6 mL (List 04943-04-01) Lots EMFG (11/2014), FBDN (02/2015), FEBU-3 (05/2015), and FEBU-1 (05/2015); 11 mL (List 04943-04-02) Lots EMFF (11/2014) and FEBU-2 (05/2015); 33 mL (List 04943-04-03) Lots EMFG-1, EMGL, EMGM, and EMGN (all Exp 11/2014).
  2. Check your OroCAM vials for the following Foreign Lot Codes: 6 mL (EDEG-2, EKFE, EDEG, 33008XN, 33004XN); 11 mL (EDEG-3, EFKE-1, EDGE-1); 33 mL (EDEH, EDEF, EHGM, EFFW, EHEK).
  3. If your product matches any of these lot numbers, contact your veterinarian or pharmacist immediately for guidance on obtaining a replacement and to discuss your pet's treatment plan.
  4. Return any unused or affected medication to the pharmacy or veterinary clinic where it was purchased for a refund.
  5. Contact Abbott Laboratories at their headquarters (100 Abbott Park Rd, Abbott Park, IL 60064) or through your local distributor for further instructions regarding this voluntary recall.
  6. For additional questions or to report adverse events, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-888-FDA-VETS.
