Norbrook Inc is recalling 3,552 tubs of Vedco Novox (carprofen) and Putney Carprofen caplets because some of the immediate plastic containers (tubs) were distributed without labels. These prescription medications are used for pain and inflammation in dogs and were sold in various strengths including 25 mg, 75 mg, and 100 mg. Without a label, owners may not be able to identify the medication, strength, or proper dosage, leading to potential administration errors. If you have an unlabeled tub of these medications, contact your veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance.
Unlabeled medication containers pose a risk of accidental overdose or the administration of the wrong drug, as the user cannot verify the active ingredient or dosage strength. This could lead to adverse health effects in treated animals if they receive the incorrect amount of carprofen.
