Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Jubilant Cadista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is recalling approximately 635,400 cartons of Methylprednisolone Tablets USP (4 mg), a prescription medication used to treat inflammation. The recall was initiated because the dosing instructions on the blister card packaging are misaligned and illegible. This defect could cause a patient to take the wrong amount of medication, which may lead to inadequate treatment of their condition or potential side effects from incorrect dosing. These products were distributed nationwide across the United States and Puerto Rico.

Risk

The misaligned printing on the blister card makes the specific dosing instructions difficult or impossible to read. If a patient cannot follow the prescribed tapering schedule or daily dosage correctly, it could result in sub-therapeutic treatment of serious inflammatory conditions or accidental overdose.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your medication packaging for Methylprednisolone Tablets USP, 4 mg, in 21-count blister packs with NDC 59746-001-03.
  2. Verify the lot numbers and expiration dates on the side of the carton or the blister card. Affected lots include: 20K0043P, 20K0044P, 20K0042P (Exp 08/2022) and 20L0026P, 20L0027P, 20L0028P, 20L0029P, 20L0030P (Exp 09/2022).
  3. If you have an affected product with illegible instructions, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately to ensure you are taking the correct dosage and to obtain a replacement.
  4. Return any unused or misprinted medication to the pharmacy where you purchased it for a refund or replacement.
