Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

American Health Packaging is recalling 15,386 cartons of Anastrozole (generic Arimidex) 1mg tablets, which are used to treat breast cancer. This voluntary recall was initiated because of a failure in the facility's cleaning procedures, which could lead to cross-contamination with other drug products. These prescription tablets were distributed nationwide in unit-dose blister packs of 30 tablets per carton. No specific injuries or illnesses have been reported at this time, but the manufacturer is recalling specific lots to ensure patient safety.

Risk

A failure in the cleaning process during manufacturing created a risk that residues from other medications could contaminate these tablets. Consuming a medication contaminated with an unintended drug substance can lead to adverse reactions or reduced effectiveness of the primary treatment.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your medication packaging for Anastrozole Tablets, USP, 1mg in 30-count unit dose blister packs with NDC 60687-112-21.

  3. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately to discuss your treatment and determine if you have an affected product.
