Apothecus Pharmaceutical Corp. is recalling 33,659 retail boxes of VCF (Vaginal Contraceptive Gel) birth control due to manufacturing deviations that caused the product to fall outside of potency specifications. The recall affects 10-count boxes of pre-filled applicators with lot numbers 3A001 and 3A001A and an expiration date of July 2025. This defect means the active ingredient may not be at the correct concentration, which could affect how well the product works.
The gel failed potency testing, which means it may not contain the intended amount of active ingredient required for effective birth control. This defect could result in a higher risk of unintended pregnancy.
