Teva Pharmaceuticals is voluntarily recalling approximately 42,384 bottles of Penicillin V Potassium for Oral Solution, USP, 125 mg (200,000 U) per 5 mL. This prescription antibiotic is used to treat bacterial infections but was found to contain high levels of impurities and degradation products that do not meet required quality specifications. Because the medicine has begun to break down, it may not be as effective as intended or could contain unexpected chemical byproducts.
The presence of impurities and degradation products means the medication may have reduced potency, which can lead to ineffective treatment of infections. Additionally, high levels of out-of-specification impurities could potentially cause unexpected side effects or adverse reactions in patients.
