Approximately 4,008 units of Triamcinolone Acetonide Lotion USP, 0.025% (60 mL bottles) are being recalled because the drug was found to be subpotent. This prescription topical medication may not contain the necessary strength of its active ingredient, meaning it might not effectively treat the skin conditions for which it was prescribed. The affected product can be identified by Lot Number 14481 and was distributed to pharmacies nationwide. Consumers should consult with their healthcare provider to discuss alternative treatments.
The drug is subpotent and failed to meet assay results, which means it is less effective than required. This may result in inadequate treatment of inflammatory or itchy skin conditions, though no injuries or adverse effects have been reported to date.
Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance. Return any unused product to the pharmacy for a refund.
