Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bayer Health Care LLC has recalled 2,368 bottles of Droncit (praziquantel) Feline Cestocide Tablets, a medication used to treat tapeworms in cats. Approximately 2,218 of the 50-count bottles and 150 of the 150-count bottles are included in this recall because the tablets may be broken or crumbling within the packaging. Because these tablets were sold exclusively to veterinarians, pet owners who have received this medication should contact their veterinary clinic or a pharmacist for further guidance.

Risk

Broken or crumbling tablets can result in inaccurate dosing, which may lead to the pet receiving an insufficient amount of medication to treat the parasitic infection.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your Droncit (praziquantel) bottle to see if it matches the affected lots: for 50-count bottles, look for Lot AH01PX5 (Product Code 8713165) with an expiration date of JUL 2020; for 150-count bottles, look for Lot AH01R83 (Product Code 08713211) with an expiration date of JUL 2020.
  2. If you have an affected bottle, contact your veterinarian or pharmacist immediately for guidance on how to safely return the unused product and obtain a replacement.
  3. Veterinarians should immediately stop dispensing the affected lots and contact Bayer Health Care LLC to arrange for the return of any remaining inventory.
  4. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund and contact Bayer Health Care LLC at their Shawnee, Kansas location for further instructions.
  5. For additional questions or to report adverse events, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator in your state or call the FDA's general help line at 1-888-INFO-FDA (1-888-463-6332).
