Teva Pharmaceuticals USA is recalling approximately 640,486 units of Estradiol Vaginal Inserts (10 mcg) due to a defect in the packaging container. Consumers have reported difficulty dispensing the medication tablet from the applicator provided in the kit. If the tablet cannot be properly released, patients may not receive their intended dose of medication. This recall affects both 8-count and 18-count cartons distributed across the United States and Puerto Rico. You should contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have one of the affected lots.
A mechanical defect in the applicator prevents the medication tablet from being dispensed properly during use. This can lead to a failure in delivering the required dosage of estradiol, potentially impacting the effectiveness of the treatment.
Healthcare provider consultation and pharmacy refund.
