Fort Dodge Laboratories Inc. has recalled 234 pails of Aureomycin Chlortetracycline Soluble Powder Concentrate Antibiotic, a veterinary medication used in drinking water. The recall was initiated because the product tested "out of specification" for low potency during a six-month stability test. This means the medication may not contain the intended amount of the active ingredient, chlortetracycline hydrochloride, required to effectively treat animals.
Low potency in an antibiotic can lead to ineffective treatment of bacterial infections in livestock, potentially allowing the illness to persist or spread within a herd. No specific animal injuries or treatment failures have been reported in the provided data.
