Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Norbrook Inc. has voluntarily recalled 5,720 vials of Hexasol (oxytetracycline and flunixin meglumine) Injection, a medication used in cattle. The recall was initiated because crystals were observed suspended in the solution, which is intended to be a sterile, clear liquid. This veterinary drug is restricted to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. If your animal has been treated with this product, please monitor them closely and consult your veterinarian.

Risk

The presence of crystals in an injectable solution can cause serious health issues, including blockages in the bloodstream (embolism), inflammation at the injection site, or a lack of therapeutic effect. If injected, these solid particles can damage tissue or travel through the circulatory system, potentially leading to organ damage or death in treated animals.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected product by checking the label for 'Hexasol (tm) Injection' in 500 mL vials with NDC number 55529-016-05.
  2. Check your inventory specifically for lot number 3403-91 with an expiration date of October 2015 (Exp: Oct 2015).
  3. Immediately stop using any vials from the affected lot and sequester them to prevent further use in animals.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist if you have an affected vial or if your animals have recently been treated with this medication and are showing unusual symptoms.
  5. Return any unused vials from lot 3403-91 to the place of purchase for a refund and contact Norbrook Inc. at their Lenexa, Kansas location for further instructions.
  6. For additional questions or to report adverse events, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at 1-888-FDA-VETS.
