Sun Pharmaceutical Industries is recalling specific lots of Riomet (metformin hydrochloride) Oral Solution, a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. The recall involves the cherry-flavored 500 mg/5 mL strength in both 4 fl. oz. and 16 fl. oz. bottles. The medicine was found to have microbial contamination, which could lead to infections. Consumers should contact their doctor or pharmacist immediately for guidance on their treatment and return any remaining product to their pharmacy.
Microbial contamination in a non-sterile oral solution can cause serious infections, particularly in patients with weakened immune systems or those with diabetes who are already at a higher risk for complications. No specific injuries or illnesses have been reported for this recall, but the presence of microorganisms poses a health safety risk.
Return unused product to the pharmacy.
