Acella Pharmaceuticals, LLC is recalling 528 cartons of Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% Sulfur 4% Cleansing Pads because the medication was found to be subpotent. This means the prescription drug (Sodium Sulfacetamide and Sulfur) may not contain the full amount of active ingredients required by the end of its 24-month shelf life. No injuries or adverse events have been reported to date. These cleansing pads were distributed nationwide to pharmacies in cartons containing sixty 3.7g pads each.
Using a subpotent medication may result in the product being less effective at treating the skin conditions for which it was prescribed. This could lead to a lack of improvement or a worsening of the symptoms being treated.
