Virbac AH, Inc. has voluntarily recalled 1,800 bottles of Virbantel (pyrantel pamoate/praziquantel) 50 Flavored Chewables, a de-wormer used for medium and large dogs weighing 25.1 to 200 lbs. The recall was issued because the product labeling is missing the required expiration date, which could lead to pet owners using the medication beyond its intended shelf life. This affected batch, identified as lot 131243, was distributed across 14 states including California, Florida, and Texas. Consumers should contact their veterinarian or pharmacist to verify if their product is part of the recall and return unused bottles to their place of purchase for a refund.
The absence of an expiration date prevents pet owners and veterinarians from knowing if the medication is still safe and potent. Using a de-wormer that has lost its effectiveness over time may result in the failure to treat parasite infections in dogs.
Full refund for unused product.
