Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica Inc has recalled 43,716 16-ounce containers and 5,448 gallon containers of Sulmet (sulfamethazine sodium) Drinking Water Solution, 12.5%. This veterinary antibacterial medication was found to contain particulate matter that is not part of the normal manufacturing process. This contamination could potentially cause physical irritation or reduce the effectiveness of the treatment for the animals. These products were sold through distributors and retailers across 29 states and Puerto Rico between approximately 2012 and 2015.
The presence of foreign particulate matter in the medication can interfere with the physical properties of the solution, potentially leading to incorrect dosing or unintended physical side effects in livestock. Although the risk level is classified as low, foreign objects in pharmaceutical products pose a quality and safety hazard to treated animals.
