McKesson Corporation is recalling 210 cartons of Levetiracetam Tablets USP, 250 mg (100-count unit dose boxes) because of a barcode error on the packaging. While the human-readable text on the box correctly identifies the medicine as Levetiracetam, the machine-readable barcode could incorrectly scan as Naproxen Tablets 500 mg. This recall affects one specific lot distributed nationwide across the United States.
If the barcode scans incorrectly, a patient could potentially receive the wrong medication (Naproxen instead of Levetiracetam) at a pharmacy or hospital. Receiving the wrong medication can lead to untreated medical conditions or adverse reactions to an unintended drug.
Return for refund and pharmacist consultation.
