The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy: Various Veterinary Medications Recalled for Manufacturing Violations

Agency Publication Date: April 10, 2020

Summary

The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy is recalling 27 bottles of various veterinary compounded medications, including treatments like Potassium Bromide, Gabapentin, and Prednisolone, due to violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations. These violations indicate that the medications were not produced under standard quality and safety controls, which could compromise their safety or effectiveness for pets. Approximately 27 units total were distributed in Port Charlotte, Florida, between early and mid-2020.

Risk

Failure to follow proper manufacturing standards can result in products that are contaminated, have incorrect potencies, or lack the necessary stability to treat animal conditions effectively. No specific animal injuries have been reported, but medications produced outside of these safety standards pose a moderate risk to animal health.
