Novartis Animal Health US Inc is recalling approximately 3,978 units of Atopica (cyclosporine capsules) because outer cartons labeled as 100 mg may actually contain 50 mg capsules. This packaging error means a pet could receive only half of their intended medication dose, which can lead to ineffective treatment of their condition. The affected products were distributed in seven states and are packaged in blister packs containing 15 capsules.
The incorrect dosage means the pet is not receiving the level of medication prescribed by their veterinarian, potentially causing a recurrence of symptoms or a failure to manage the animal's underlying medical condition.
