Epic Pharma, LLC is recalling 2,976 bottles of Estradiol Tablets (USP, 2 mg), a hormone replacement medication, after a single foreign tablet or capsule was found inside a pharmacy-dispensed bottle. This recall affects 100-count bottles of the prescription medication distributed nationwide. While only one incident has been reported, the presence of an incorrect medication in the bottle could lead to accidental ingestion of an unknown substance. Consumers who have these specific bottles should immediately verify their lot numbers and contact their pharmacist.
The presence of a foreign tablet means a patient might inadvertently consume the wrong medication, which could cause adverse health effects or lead to a lack of the intended treatment. One report was received where a foreign tablet was found in a bottle dispensed to a patient.
