Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc. is recalling 900 vials of Zoledronic Acid Injection 5 mg/100 mL, a prescription medication used for intravenous infusion. This recall was initiated because stability testing identified impurities and degradation results that were outside of the required specifications. This specific recall affects two lots of the sterile solution distributed nationwide in the United States. Consumers should not use the affected medication and should contact their healthcare provider immediately.

Risk

The presence of impurities or degradation products above the established limits can reduce the effectiveness of the drug or potentially cause unexpected side effects during intravenous administration. While the risk level is classified as low, using out-of-specification medication means the safety and quality of the drug cannot be guaranteed.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your medication carton or vial for Zoledronic Acid Injection 5 mg/100 mL (0.05 mg/mL) with NDC 51991-064-98.
  2. Verify the lot numbers and expiration dates on your packaging: Look for lot numbers 5553.044E or 5553.044F with an expiration date of 04/30/2021.
  3. Immediately stop using the medication if it matches the affected lot numbers and consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance on alternative treatment.
  4. Return any unused product from these specific lots to your pharmacy or place of purchase for a refund.
  5. Contact Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc. at their Berlin, CT office or through your pharmacist for further instructions regarding the return process.
  6. For additional questions or to report a complaint, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
