Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Phibro Animal Health Corporation is recalling 240 units of Phibro Nicarb (nicarbazin) 25% Type A Medicated Article, a veterinary medication used for livestock. The recall was initiated because stability testing at the 12-month mark showed the drug's potency had dropped to 24.2%, which is below the required specification of 24.5% to 26.5%. This decreased strength may lead to reduced effectiveness of the medication in treated animals. If you have this product, you should contact your veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance on how to return the unused medication for a refund.

Risk

The medication failed to maintain its required strength over time, meaning animals treated with this specific lot may not receive the full intended dose of nicarbazin, potentially compromising the treatment's success.

  2. Look for Lot #LSC678 on the product packaging to determine if your medication is part of the recall.
  3. Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist immediately to discuss the use of this product and to seek guidance on alternative treatments.
