Fougera Pharmaceuticals Inc. is recalling 30 mL tubes of Animax Ointment (nystatin-neomycin sulfate-thiostrepton-triamcinolone acetonide) from Lot 572C. This veterinary medication is commonly used to treat skin and ear conditions in animals. The recall was initiated after stability testing revealed that the medication was 'super-potent,' meaning it contained levels of neomycin sulfate that exceeded the required specification. Owners of pets using this ointment should check their lot numbers and consult their veterinarian regarding continued use.
The ointment contains higher concentrations of neomycin sulfate than intended, which could lead to adverse reactions or localized side effects in pets treated with this specific lot.
