Phibro Animal Health Corporation: Nicarb 25% Medicated Article Recalled for Being Out of Specification

Agency Publication Date: May 18, 2017

Summary

Phibro Animal Health Corporation is voluntarily recalling 239 bags of Nicarb 25% Type A Medicated Article, a veterinary medication used for animal health. A stability test of a 50-pound bag from Lot JSC692 showed that the medication's potency had dropped below required specifications to 24.4%. This recall affects approximately 239 multi-wall bags distributed across Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas.

Risk

The medication is 'out of specification,' meaning the potency of the active ingredient may be lower than labeled. This could result in reduced effectiveness of the treatment for animals, potentially failing to prevent or treat the conditions for which the product was prescribed.

Check your supply for Nicarb 25% Type A Medicated Article 8.4 mg/kg packaged in 50 lb. (22.68 kg) multi-wall bags.

If you have an affected product from lot JSC692, stop using it immediately to ensure your animals receive the correct dosage from a compliant batch.
