Monarch PCM, LLC is voluntarily recalling 9,610 units of Sodium Sulfacetamide (10%) Wash and Hydroquinone USP (4%) Skin Bleaching Cream. Testing revealed that these products were subpotent, meaning they may not contain the full amount of active ingredients or preservatives required to be effective. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date, but the manufacturer is recalling these lots as a precaution to ensure patient safety.
Because these medications are subpotent, they may not provide the full therapeutic benefit intended by your doctor, which could lead to ineffective treatment of skin conditions. There is also a risk that the preservative levels are too low to maintain the product's quality through its expiration date.
You have 2 options:
Manufactured for Exact-Rx, Inc.
Manufactured for Westminster Pharmaceuticals, LLC
