Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Merial Limited has voluntarily recalled 40,540 bottles of Ivomec (Ivermectin) Injection for Cattle and Swine 1% Sterile Solution (50 mL and 500 mL). This recall was initiated because ongoing stability testing showed the medication did not meet the required potency standards (out-of-specification assay values) after 12 months. This livestock medication was distributed in 35 states and Puerto Rico.

Risk

The drug may not have the correct concentration of the active ingredient, Ivermectin, which could lead to reduced effectiveness in treating or preventing parasites in cattle and swine. No specific animal health incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
