Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Health Innovations Pharmacy, Inc. has voluntarily recalled 54 different compounded veterinary medications, including suspensions, capsules, gels, and injections. These products, such as Atenolol Vet Gel, PZI Vet Insulin, and Tramadol Vet Suspension, were produced under conditions that created a high potential for contamination. While no specific injuries have been reported, the contamination risk covers all lots of these medications distributed in North Carolina.

Risk

The medications were produced in an environment that may have introduced bacteria, fungi, or other harmful contaminants into the drugs. Using contaminated medications on animals can lead to serious infections or other health complications, particularly with injectable or ophthalmic (eye) products.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pet's medication labels for any of the 54 affected products, such as Atenolol, Diazepam, Gabapentin, Methimazole, or Trilostane, produced by Health Innovations Pharmacy.
  2. Identify if your medication is part of the recall by checking for the specific Recall Numbers (V-001-2016 through V-054-2016) listed on the packaging or your prescription records.
  3. Immediately stop administering these medications to your pets, as all lots of the listed products are considered potentially contaminated.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or healthcare provider to discuss alternative treatment options for your pet and to report any adverse health changes.
  5. Return any unused portions of these medications to Health Innovations Pharmacy or the place of purchase for a refund.
  6. For further questions regarding this recall, contact your pharmacist or call the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-402-7002.
