Calvin Scott & Company, Inc.: Weight Loss Medications Recalled for Lack of Stability Studies

Agency Publication Date: October 2, 2020

Summary

Calvin Scott & Company, Inc. is recalling various lots of Diethylpropion and Phentermine weight loss medications that were repackaged into pouches. These drug products were repackaged without supporting stability studies to ensure the medicine remains safe and effective in this new packaging. The recall affects three specific drug types distributed to physician offices in California, Idaho, Illinois, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island.

Risk

Repackaging drugs into pouches without stability testing means the medication may not maintain its potency or chemical integrity over time. This could lead to consumers receiving ineffective treatment or being exposed to degradation products that have not been safety-tested.
