Clavacillin Veterinary Tablets Recalled Due to Reduced Potency

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Dechra Veterinary Products Inc. has recalled 24 cartons of Clavacillin (amoxicillin trihydrate/clavulanate potassium) Veterinary Tablets used for dogs. The recall was initiated because the tablets failed potency testing for clavulanic acid during stability checks at the 9-month mark, meaning the medication may not be as effective as intended. No incidents or injuries related to this recall have been reported.

Risk

Reduced potency in an antibiotic can lead to ineffective treatment of bacterial infections in dogs, potentially allowing the infection to persist or worsen. Because the clavulanic acid levels are lower than required, the medication may fail to provide the necessary therapeutic benefit to the animal.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your dog's medication packaging for Clavacillin (amoxicillin trihydrate/clavulanate potassium) 125 mg tablets in cartons containing 15 strips of 14 tablets each (210 tablets total).
  2. Verify the identifying codes on the carton: look for Lot # MH5789 and NDC 17033-441-21.
  3. If you have animal health concerns, contact your veterinarian. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer or supplier for further instructions.
  4. Call the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 for additional questions regarding this recall.
