Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bimeda, Inc. is recalling 3,929 bottles of GentaMed Soluble Powder (gentamicin sulfate), an antibiotic used for animal health. The recall was initiated because testing showed the product fell below the required potency specifications during a 12-month stability check. This affects two specific lots of the 360-gram jars distributed in Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, and North Carolina.

Risk

Low potency means the medication may not provide the intended dose of gentamicin sulfate, which can lead to ineffective treatment of bacterial infections in animals.

  2. Check the lot numbers printed on your jars for codes 54270065 or 54270066.
  3. If you have animal health concerns, contact your veterinarian. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer or supplier for further instructions.
