Fort Dodge Laboratories Inc is recalling approximately 39,198 vials of Factrel (gonadorelin) and Torbugesic (butorphanol tartrate) veterinary injections because a manufacturing equipment malfunction may have compromised the sterility of the glass vials. Factrel is used to treat cystic ovaries in cattle, while Torbugesic is an analgesic for horses. Using a non-sterile injectable product can lead to serious infections or localized abscesses in the treated animals. Consumers should immediately check their inventory for the specific lot numbers listed below and contact their veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance.
A malfunction in the manufacturing equipment means the company cannot guarantee that these injectable drugs are sterile. If a non-sterile medication is injected into an animal, it can introduce bacteria or other contaminants, causing severe infections, inflammation, or systemic illness.
Veterinary drug return for refund.
