Fort Dodge Laboratories Inc: Cydectin Pour-On for Cattle Recalled for Stability Failure

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Fort Dodge Laboratories Inc is recalling 3,624 bottles of Cydectin (moxidectin) Pour-On for Beef and Dairy Cattle, an over-the-counter antiparasitic medication. The recall was initiated because the product failed stability testing at the 30-month interval, which may mean the medication is no longer as effective or stable as required by the time it reaches that age. These 1-liter bottles were distributed nationwide to various wholesale and retail accounts.

Risk

A stability failure means the active ingredient, moxidectin, may have degraded or changed over time, potentially reducing the drug's ability to treat parasites in cattle as intended. No specific animal injuries have been reported, but the product no longer meets the quality standards guaranteed for its shelf life.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the product by checking the label for 'Cydectin moxidectin Pour-On for Beef and Dairy Cattle' in 1-liter bottles.
  2. Check the label for the responsible firm name 'Fort Dodge Animal Health, Fort Dodge, IA' and recall number V-111-3.
  3. Contact your veterinarian or healthcare provider to discuss the use of this product and ensure your cattle are receiving effective parasite treatment.
  4. Return any unused 1-liter bottles of the affected Cydectin Pour-On to the place of purchase for a refund.
  5. Contact Fort Dodge Laboratories Inc (Fort Dodge Animal Health) at their headquarters in Fort Dodge, Iowa, for further instructions regarding this recall.
