Agency Publication Date: November 24, 2015

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 1,486 one-gallon plastic jugs of Neomycin Oral Solution (neomycin sulfate) have been recalled under the Neovet, AgriLabs, and Durvet brand labels. The product failed to meet 18-month stability requirements because the preservatives in the liquid were found to be subpotent. This means the medication may not remain effective or safe through its intended shelf life. Consumers who have purchased these products for use in cattle, swine, sheep, or goats should check their lot numbers immediately.

Risk

The preservatives in the antibiotic solution are below the required strength, which may lead to the product losing its effectiveness before its expiration date. This could result in inadequate treatment of bacterial infections in animals.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your one-gallon (3.785L) plastic jugs of Neomycin Oral Solution for lot number 140071 and an expiration date of 2/2016.
  2. Verify the brand name and UPC on your product label: Neovet Antibacterial (UPC 0 99355 00533 4), AgriLabs Neomycin Oral Solution (UPC 3 57561 01771 9), or Durvet Neomycin Oral Solution Antibacterial (UPC 7 45801 11313 8).
  3. Immediately stop using any product that matches the affected lot number and expiration date.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or pharmacist for guidance on alternative treatments and for instructions on how to handle the subpotent medication.
  5. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a full refund and contact Sparhawk Laboratories Inc for further instructions.
  6. For additional questions regarding this recall, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
