Valeant Pharmaceuticals is recalling 306 cartons of Diazepam Rectal Gel, 2.5 mg Twin Packs (NDC 68682-650-20). These products were distributed without the required lot number or expiration date printed on the outer carton. This missing information prevents patients and caregivers from knowing if the medication has expired or if it is part of a specific batch affected by future safety concerns. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance on any product missing this information.
The absence of a lot number and expiration date on the medication's packaging means consumers cannot verify the product's shelf life or effectiveness. This could lead to the use of expired medication, which may not provide the intended therapeutic benefit during a medical emergency.
Return for refund and consult healthcare professionals.
