Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bayer Health Care LLC is recalling 405 bottles of CYDECTIN (moxidectin) Injectable Solution, a sterile antiparasitic medicine used for beef and nonlactating dairy cattle. The recall was issued because the 500 mL bottles may leak, which compromises the required sterility of the injectable solution. No injuries or adverse events have been reported to date, but consumers should check their inventory for affected bottles with specific lot numbers and expiration dates. If you have an affected product, contact your veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance on how to safely return the medication.

Risk

The potential for bottles to leak compromises the sterility of the medication. Injecting a non-sterile solution into cattle can lead to serious infections or adverse health reactions at the injection site or throughout the animal's body.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your inventory for CYDECTIN (moxidectin) Injectable Solution in 500 mL bottles.
  2. Identify if your product is affected by looking for Lot AH01VL1, Product Code 81449783, and an Expiry Date of 31/12/2018.
  3. Immediately stop using any bottles that match the identified lot and product codes, even if they do not appear to be leaking.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist to discuss the health of any cattle that may have received medication from this lot and to arrange for alternative treatments.
  5. Return any unused bottles to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Bayer Health Care LLC at their Shawnee, Kansas location for further instructions.
  6. For additional questions or to report adverse events in animals, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-402-7002.
