Elanco Animal has recalled approximately 55,169 bottles of Florvio 2.3% Concentrate Solution (florfenicol), a broad-spectrum antibiotic used in swine drinking water. The recall was initiated because analytical test results fell outside of the required stability specifications, which means the product may not perform as intended to treat animals. The affected product is packaged in 4-liter plastic bottles (containing 2.17 liters of solution) and was distributed to several states between early 2016 and the recall date. If you have this product, you should contact your veterinarian or pharmacist to discuss alternative treatments and return any unused medication.
Because the product failed stability testing, the medication may lose its potency or fail to meet quality standards before its expiration date. This failure could result in the ineffective treatment of bacterial infections in swine, potentially allowing illness to persist or spread within the herd.
Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance. Return any unused product to the pharmacy for a refund
