Epic Pharma, LLC is recalling 11,472 bottles of Estradiol (0.5 mg), a generic hormone replacement medication. The recall was initiated because a bottle of the 0.5 mg tablets was found to contain a tablet of the higher 1 mg strength. If you take a 1 mg tablet instead of your prescribed 0.5 mg dose, you would be receiving double the intended medication. Consumers should immediately check their prescription bottles and contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance.
Taking a higher dose of hormone medication than prescribed can lead to unintended side effects or hormonal imbalances. In this case, a patient could accidentally ingest a 1 mg dose when they were prescribed a 0.5 mg dose due to the presence of foreign tablets in the bottle.
