Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

The Harvard Drug Group, doing business as Major Pharmaceuticals and Rugby Laboratories, is recalling 3,718 units of Phenytoin Oral Suspension (100 mg/4 mL). This prescription medication, used to control seizures, was distributed in 4 mL unit dose cups. The recall was issued because the product failed content uniformity specifications, which means the amount of medication in each dose may not be consistent. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.

Risk

If the medication does not have a uniform concentration, a patient may receive a dose that is too low or too high. A low dose could lead to a loss of seizure control, while a dose that is too high could result in phenytoin toxicity, which can cause serious health complications.

  1. The recalled product is Phenytoin Oral Suspension, USP (100 mg/4 mL), sold in 4 mL unit dose cups (NDC 0904-7079-24) and cases of 50 (NDC 0904-7079-57).
  2. Check your medication for lot numbers C00099 or C00115 with an expiration date of 07/31/2024, or lot number C00079 with an expiration date of 12/31/2023.
  3. If you have health concerns, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
