Perrigo New York has recalled 571,632 tubes of Hydrocortisone Ointment, USP 2.5% (20g tubes) due to the product failing stability specifications. This means the medication may not remain effective or maintain its proper chemical properties through its labeled expiration date. This prescription-only skin treatment was distributed nationwide across the United States and Puerto Rico.
When a drug fails stability testing, the active ingredient may break down or lose its potency, potentially leading to less effective treatment for the skin conditions it was prescribed to address.
