Various Cardinal Health Drugs Recalled for Temperature Storage Errors

Summary

Cardinal Health is recalling 77 total units of various prescription and over-the-counter medications because they were exposed to temperatures outside of their required storage conditions. The recall affects 42 different products, ranging from asthma inhalers like Albuterol to antibiotics like Amoxicillin and daily medications such as Warfarin and Aspirin. Because these drugs were not kept at the proper temperature, they may have degraded or lost their effectiveness, which means they might not work correctly to treat your medical condition. Consumers should check the specific list of affected brands and lot numbers to see if their medication is involved.

Risk

Exposure to temperatures outside of a product's approved range can cause medications to break down chemically, potentially making them less effective or unstable. This poses a health risk if a patient relies on a full dose of medication for serious conditions like infection, blood clots, or respiratory distress.
