Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc.: Clocortolone Pivalate Cream Recalled for Failure to Meet Thickness Standards

Agency Publication Date: March 14, 2018

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 4,152 tubes of Clocortolone Pivalate Cream, 0.1% (90-gram tubes) are being recalled. This prescription medication, used for skin conditions, failed stability testing because the cream's thickness (viscosity) did not meet the required quality standards. While the risk is considered low, the change in thickness may affect how the medication is dispensed or applied. No injuries or adverse effects have been reported in the recall notice.

Risk

During stability testing, the cream was found to be 'out-of-specification' for viscosity, meaning it became thinner or thicker than intended. This physical change can affect the consistency of the medication and its performance during application.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your prescription cream tubes to see if you have Clocortolone Pivalate Cream, 0.1% in the 90-gram size.
  2. Locate the NDC number 43598-341-90 and the Lot Number MGEC on the tube or the outer carton to determine if your specific product is affected.
  3. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance on whether you should continue using the cream or if you need a replacement.
  4. Return any unused product from Lot MGEC to the pharmacy where you purchased it for a refund.
  5. Contact Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc. at their Princeton, NJ office for further information regarding this recall.
  6. 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.
