Summary

Pegasus Laboratories, Inc. is recalling 19,207 units of Proin (phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride) chewable and extended-release tablets for dogs, along with VPL Sutures, because the products were stored at extreme temperatures during storage. The recall includes various strengths of Proin tablets and synthetic absorbable surgical sutures (Monomend MT) distributed by PRN Pharmacal. Consumers should check their pet's medication and surgical supplies for the specific lot numbers and expiration dates affected by this storage failure. No specific injuries or animal health incidents have been reported, but the extreme temperatures may have compromised the stability and effectiveness of these medical products.
