Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Akorn Inc. is recalling 16,216 cartons of Myorisan (isotretinoin capsules, USP), 40 mg, because of a labeling error on the outer packaging. While the individual prescription packs inside are correctly labeled, the secondary outer carton incorrectly states the dosage is 40 mg instead of 30 mg. This recall affects Myorisan distributed nationwide in the United States.

Risk

A labeling mix-up regarding the dosage strength can lead to confusion for patients or healthcare providers, potentially resulting in the administration of an incorrect dose of medication.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your medication packaging to see if you have Myorisan (isotretinoin capsules, USP), 40 mg, in a 30-count carton (3 x 10 prescription packs).
  2. Look for Lot number V30M56A with an expiration date of 9/20 (September 2020) and NDC 61748-304-13 on the carton.
  3. Carefully compare the dosage strength listed on the outer carton (secondary packaging) with the strength listed on the individual prescription packs (primary packaging) inside to verify the discrepancy.
  4. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately for guidance if you find your medication is part of this recall.
  5. Return any unused or incorrectly labeled product to your pharmacy to receive a refund.
  6. Contact Akorn Inc. or the distributor, VersaPharm Inc., for further instructions regarding this recall.
