Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Fort Dodge Laboratories Inc. is recalling approximately 11,323 bottles of Vetisulid (sulfachlorpyridazine) Boluses, an antibiotic used for cattle and pigs. This recall includes 6,170 bottles of the 50-count size and 5,153 bottles of the 100-count size. The recall was initiated because the medication failed to dissolve properly during a 48-month stability test, which may prevent the drug from being absorbed correctly by the animal. These products were distributed to 142 locations across the country.

Risk

If the boluses do not dissolve properly, the animal may not receive the intended dose of the antibiotic, potentially leading to ineffective treatment of infections and worsening animal health.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your product by checking the label for 'Fort Dodge Vetisulid (sulfachlorpyridazine) Boluses' (2 grams per bolus) in either 50-count or 100-count bottles.
  2. Check the label for the firm name 'Fort Dodge Animal Health' and the drug application number NADA 33-127.
  3. Immediately stop using the affected boluses from these bottles to treat your livestock.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance on alternative treatments and to report any health concerns regarding animals that have used this product.
  5. Return any unused bottles of the medication to the place of purchase for a refund and contact Fort Dodge Laboratories Inc. at 800 5th Street NW, PO Box 518, Fort Dodge, Iowa, for further instructions.
