Altana Inc. is recalling 7,092 units of Muricin (mupirocin) Ointment 2% used for skin conditions in dogs. This recall was initiated after three lots of a similar ointment for humans were found to be subpotent, meaning the medication may not be strong enough to treat the intended condition effectively. Consumers who have used this ointment on their pets should contact their veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance.
The ointment is subpotent, which means it may fail to provide the necessary level of medication to treat dermatologic infections in dogs, potentially leading to unresolved or worsening skin issues.
