Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Virbac AH, Inc. is recalling approximately 45,264 bottles of Genesis Topical Spray (triamcinolone acetonide) 0.015% solution. This recall affects 30,396 bottles of the 8 oz size and 14,868 bottles of the 16 oz size because stability testing showed the medication was losing its required potency over time. The product was distributed nationwide across the United States and Puerto Rico.

Risk

The medication was found to be 'out of specification' for potency during a 9-month check, meaning the active ingredient may be weaker than labeled. Using a less potent spray could result in ineffective treatment of your pet's skin condition, leading to unresolved inflammation or itching.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your bottle of Genesis Topical Spray (0.015% Triamcinolone Acetonide) for the following lot numbers and expiration dates: Lot 140085 with an expiration date of January 2016, or Lot 131154 with an expiration date of September 2015.
  2. Identify the bottle size on the label to see if you have the 8 oz or 16 oz spray bottle.
  3. If your product matches the affected lot numbers, stop using the spray on your pet immediately.
  4. Contact your veterinarian or healthcare provider to discuss alternative treatments for your pet's condition and to report any concerns.
  5. Return any unused product to the pharmacy or place of purchase for a refund and contact Virbac AH, Inc. at 3200 Meacham Blvd, Fort Worth, Texas for further instructions.
  6. For additional questions or to report issues, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
