Morton Grove Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has voluntarily recalled five lots of Dexamethasone Elixir, USP (0.5 mg/5 mL) packaged in 8 fl oz bottles. This recall was issued because laboratory testing discovered unknown impurities at levels higher than what is permitted for this medication. While no injuries or incidents have been reported to date, using medication with unexpected impurities could affect the drug's safety or how well it works.
The product failed impurities and degradation specifications, meaning the drug contains unknown substances that should not be present at these levels. This poses a potential health risk to patients relying on the medication for treatment.
