Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 710,040 bottles of Tramadol Hydrochloride (50 mg) tablets, including both brand name and generic versions, are being recalled because the patient information leaflet contains incorrect dosing instructions. The leaflet describes a process for splitting the tablets to reach a 25 mg dose; however, the tablets provided in these bottles are unscored and cannot be safely split into smaller doses. This recall affects 379,043 of the 100-count bottles and 330,997 of the 500-count bottles distributed across the United States between 2019 and 2021.

Risk

Patients attempting to split these unscored tablets to follow the 25 mg dosing instructions in the leaflet may receive an inaccurate or inconsistent amount of medication. This poses a risk of incorrect dosing for patients who require titration as part of their treatment.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your prescription bottle label for TRAMADOL HYDROCHLORIDE Tablets, USP, 50 mg with NDC 60429-588-01 (100-count bottles) or NDC 60429-588-05 (500-count bottles).
  2. Verify the lot number and expiration date on the side of your bottle. For 100-count bottles, affected lots include GS021259, GS021742, GS022074, GS022619, GS022836, GS023243, GS023631, GS023869, GS024562, GS025492, GS025184, GS026306, GS026654, GS027566, and GS028574 with expiration dates between November 2019 and April 2021.
  3. For 500-count bottles, check for lot numbers including GS021570, GS021444, GS021445, GS021443, GS021447, GS021446, GS021745, GS021746, GS021744, GS022076, GS022077, GS022078, GS022075, GS021747, GS021748, GS022622, GS022623, GS022624, GS022620, GS022837, GS022838, GS022856, GS022621, GS023029, GS023028, GS023027, GS023958, GS023959, GS023960, GS025045, GS024929, GS025048, GS025047, GS025588, GS025046, GS025260, GS025259, GS025717, GS025719, GS025718, GS023607, GS026308, GS026309, GS026912, GS026911, GS026910, GS027678, GS027836, GS027570, GS027569, GS027572, and GS027571.
  4. Do not attempt to split or break these tablets, as they are unscored and do not support the 25 mg dosing mentioned in the patient leaflet.
  5. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately for guidance on your treatment and to ensure you have the correct medication form. Return any unused product to your pharmacy for a refund.
