Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Jubilant Cadista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is recalling 89,722 blister packs of MethylPREDNISolone Tablets, USP (4 mg), a prescription steroid medication. The recall was initiated because the tablets failed stability testing during an 18-month check, meaning the medication's potency or quality may not meet required standards over its full shelf life. Consumers who have this medication should contact their doctor or pharmacist for guidance on continuing their treatment.

Risk

The drug failed to maintain its required assay specifications during long-term testing, which could mean the medication is less effective than intended. Taking a sub-potent steroid could lead to inadequate treatment of the underlying inflammatory condition being managed.
