Pharmaceutical Associates Inc: Nystatin Oral Suspension Recalled for Appearance and Resuspension Issues

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Pharmaceutical Associates Inc. is recalling 275,400 cups of Nystatin Oral Suspension, USP (500,000 units/5 mL), a prescription medication used to treat fungal infections. The recall was initiated because the product failed to meet specifications for its appearance and its ability to mix properly when shaken (resuspension). This defect could result in a consumer receiving an inconsistent dose of the medication, which may lead to reduced effectiveness of the treatment.

Risk

If the medication does not resuspend properly, the active ingredient may settle at the bottom, causing the patient to receive too little of the drug in early doses and potentially too much in later doses. This inconsistency can prevent the infection from being treated effectively.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the affected product by checking the label for Nystatin Oral Suspension, USP, 500,000 units/5 mL packaged in 5 mL cups with NDC 0121-4810-05.
  2. Check the packaging for Lot Number B5B8 and an expiration date of 07/2019 to confirm if your specific unit is included in this recall.
  3. If you have this medication, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately for guidance on obtaining a replacement and to discuss any concerns regarding your treatment.
  4. Return any unused product to the pharmacy or place of purchase for a refund and contact Pharmaceutical Associates Inc. for further instructions regarding the return process.
