Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Teva Pharmaceuticals is recalling approximately 1,157,095 bottles of Fluoxetine Tablets (the generic version of Prozac) because routine testing found the presence of a lactoside impurity that exceeded safety specifications. This recall includes all lots that have not yet expired for the 10 mg strength sold in 30-count bottles. Consumers should check their medication bottles immediately for the NDC code 0093-7188-56 to see if their supply is affected.

Risk

The recall was initiated after routine stability testing showed an out-of-specification result for a lactoside impurity, which is a degradation product that may compromise the drug's quality standards over time.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your prescription bottle to see if you have Fluoxetine Tablets USP, 10 mg, in 30-count bottles with NDC 0093-7188-56.
  2. Identify the lot number and expiration date on your bottle; this recall affects all lots that are currently within their expiration date.
  3. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance before you stop taking this medication, as abruptly stopping some antidepressants can cause side effects.
  4. Return any unused or affected product to your pharmacy for a refund or further instructions.
  5. Contact the manufacturer, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, for additional information regarding this recall.
  6. If you have questions about the safety of your medication, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
