Calvin Scott & Company, Inc.: Various Prescription Medications Recalled Due to Improper Light-Protective Packaging

Agency Publication Date: August 20, 2020

Summary

Calvin Scott & Company, Inc. is recalling multiple prescription medications, including various forms of Phentermine, Hydrochlorothiazide, Thyroid, Topiramate, and Phendimetrazine, which were repackaged into transparent or partially transparent pouches. These specific drugs are light-sensitive and require opaque packaging to maintain their chemical stability and effectiveness. The recall affects several thousand units distributed nationwide in various bag sizes (7, 10, 14, 28, and 56-count) with expiration dates ranging from July 2020 to March 2021. Consumers should check their prescription bags for the Calvin Scott & Co. distributor label to see if their medication is part of this recall.

Risk

Because these medications are light-sensitive, exposure to light through the transparent packaging can cause the drugs to degrade or lose potency. This may result in the medication not working as intended to treat conditions like high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, or weight management.

What You Should Do

Check your prescription packaging for 'Distributed by: Calvin Scott & Co., Inc. Albuquerque, NM 87123' and verify if your medication matches any of the affected products, such as Phentermine HCL, Hydrochlorothiazide, Thyroid, Topiramate, or Phendimetrazine.
Look for specific lot numbers and expiration dates on your medication bags, such as Phentermine lot 19271 (Exp 10/20), Hydrochlorothiazide lot 19355 (Exp 3/21), or Thyroid lot 19233 (Exp 08/20).
Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately to discuss your treatment and determine if you should continue taking the medication or if a replacement is necessary.
Return any unused or affected medication pouches to the pharmacy where they were dispensed for a refund.
Contact Calvin Scott & Company at their Albuquerque facility for further information regarding the return process.
For additional questions or to report a problem, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
