Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Intervet, Inc. is recalling 840 vials of Merck Salix (furosemide 5% injection), a veterinary medication used for animals. One specific batch of this 50ml injection was assigned an incorrect expiration date during manufacturing. Because the expiration date on the label is inaccurate, the medication may be used past its intended shelf life, which could result in decreased effectiveness or potential safety concerns for animals receiving the treatment. You should contact your veterinarian or pharmacist if you have purchased this medication recently.

Risk

The incorrect expiration date means the product may not maintain its required potency or stability through the printed date, potentially leading to ineffective treatment of the animal's condition.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your supply of Merck Salix (furosemide 5% injection) 50ml amber glass bottles for Lot #A157V01.
  2. Verify the identifying numbers on the product label: UPC 021784-46150-4 and NDC 57926-465-01.
  3. If you have a vial from Lot #A157V01, stop using the product immediately to ensure your animal does not receive potentially degraded medication.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist to discuss the recall and arrange for a replacement or guidance on alternative treatment.
  5. Return any unused product from the affected lot to the pharmacy or place of purchase for a refund.
  6. Contact Merck Animal Health (Intervet, Inc.) at their website www.merck-animal-health-usa.com for further instructions regarding this voluntary recall.
