Alva-Amco Pharmacal Companies., Inc. is recalling 206,513 tubes of Psoriasin Daytime Relief Cream with Vitamin D & Oatmeal (Coal Tar 1.25%) because the product failed to maintain the required amount of coal tar over its 24-month shelf life. This subpotent drug may not provide the intended relief for psoriasis symptoms as labeled. The affected 57-gram plastic tubes were distributed nationwide and internationally between 2018 and 2019.
Because the active ingredient (coal tar) is below the level claimed on the label, the medication may be less effective at treating skin conditions like psoriasis, potentially leading to inadequate symptom management for users.
