Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Heritage Pharmaceuticals Inc. is recalling 408 bottles of Acyclovir Tablets (400 mg), a prescription medication used to treat viral infections. The recall was initiated because some bottles were distributed with incorrect or missing lot numbers and expiration dates on the labels. These affected products were distributed specifically in Ohio and were packaged in 150 cc white plastic bottles containing 100 tablets each.

Risk

Missing or incorrect labeling information prevents healthcare providers and consumers from identifying if a drug is part of a specific batch or has expired. Using expired medication can result in reduced effectiveness of the treatment, and the inability to identify specific lots hinders the ability to track safety issues.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your prescription bottle label for Acyclovir Tablets, 400 mg (100-count bottle) with NDC 23155-227-01.
  2. Verify if your bottle is marked with Lot A120036 and an expiration date of DEC 2023, or if these identifying details are missing or unreadable.
  3. If you have an affected bottle, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance regarding your treatment.
  4. Return any unused product to the pharmacy or place of purchase for a refund.
  5. Contact Heritage Pharmaceuticals Inc. at the number provided on your prescription or through their distributor, Avet Pharmaceuticals, for further instructions on returning the product.
  6. For additional questions, call the FDA Consumer Complaint line at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
