Ascent Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: Oxycodone Hydrochloride Tablets Recalled for Missing Controlled Substance Symbol

Agency Publication Date: February 1, 2018

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ascent Pharmaceuticals is recalling approximately 45,875 bottles of Oxycodone Hydrochloride (15 mg) tablets because the product labels are missing the required 'CII' symbol for federally controlled substances. This prescription pain medication was manufactured for Camber Pharmaceuticals and distributed nationwide in 100-count bottles. Consumers who have these bottles should be aware that the labeling error may lead to the medication being handled or stored without the strict oversight required for Schedule II controlled substances.

Risk

The missing 'CII' symbol means the product is not properly identified as a high-potential abuse drug, which could result in improper handling, storage, or tracking of the medication. While the medication itself is not defective, the labeling failure violates federal safety regulations designed to prevent the misuse of controlled substances.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your prescription bottle to see if it is Oxycodone Hydrochloride Tablets, USP 15 mg, in a 100-count bottle with NDC 31722-917-01.
  2. Identify if your bottle is affected by checking the lot numbers and expiration dates: 17080591 or 17080619 (Exp 07/19); 17110907 or 17110908 (Exp 10/19); or 17120986 (Exp 11/19).
  3. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately for guidance if you possess medication from these affected lots.
  4. Return any unused bottles to your pharmacy to receive a refund and ensure the product is handled according to controlled substance protocols.
  5. Contact Ascent Pharmaceuticals at their Central Islip, NY location or through your pharmacy for further instructions regarding this voluntary recall.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
