Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Inc. is recalling 216,840 cartons of Estradiol Vaginal Inserts USP, 10 mcg, including both 8-count and 18-count packages. The recall was initiated after complaints that the disposable applicators provided with the inserts were difficult to use because the plunger was hard to push. This defect can prevent the medication from being delivered properly or cause frustration and difficulty during administration.
A defective delivery system means the applicator plunger may fail to move smoothly, which can lead to improper dosing or the inability to use the medication as prescribed. While no specific injuries were reported, the mechanical failure of the applicator prevents the medication from reaching the intended site of action.
Refund and guidance via pharmacy and healthcare provider.
