Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Sparhawk Laboratories Inc. is recalling approximately 7,228 vials of Atropine Sulfate 1/120 Injectable Solution (0.54 mg/mL) because the medication failed stability testing. Testing at the 12-month interval showed the potency of the drug was lower than required standards. This recall affects 100-ml vials of this prescription veterinary medication that were distributed to Missouri and Ohio.

Risk

The low potency means the medication may not provide the intended therapeutic effect when administered to an animal, which could lead to inadequate treatment of the condition for which the atropine was prescribed.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate your Atropine Sulfate 1/120 Injectable Solution (0.54 mg atropine sulfate per mL) in 100-ml vials.
  2. Check the packaging for Lot number 120078 with an expiration date of 11/2013.
  3. Contact your veterinarian or healthcare provider immediately to discuss the use of this medication and to arrange for an alternative supply.
  4. Return any unused product to the pharmacy or place of purchase for a refund.
  5. Contact Sparhawk Laboratories Inc. at their Lenexa, Kansas location for further instructions regarding the return of the affected lot.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
