Lloyd Inc: PrednisTab (Prednisolone) Tablets Recalled Due to Broken Tablets

Agency Publication Date: December 3, 2012

Summary

Lloyd Inc. has recalled approximately 18,074 bottles of PrednisTab (Prednisolone, USP) 5 mg medication because some of the 1,000-tablet bottles may contain broken tablets. This medication is intended for oral use in dogs only. The recall affects bottles sold nationwide under the Lloyd Inc., Butler Schein Animal Health, and Phoenix labels. Because the tablets are broken, pets may not receive the accurate dosage prescribed by their veterinarian.

Risk

Broken tablets prevent pet owners from administering the exact dose required for their dog's treatment. This can lead to under-dosing or inconsistent medication levels, which may fail to manage the pet's medical condition effectively.

What You Should Do

Check your dog's medication bottle to see if it is PrednisTab (Prednisolone, USP) 5 mg in a 1,000-tablet container.
