Virbac Inc. is recalling Pyoben Medicated Shampoo and Hexadene Medicated Shampoo, used for dogs, cats, and horses, because some bottles were mislabeled as containing the wrong type of medicated shampoo. Approximately 7,332 bottles of Hexadene and an unknown number of Pyoben bottles are affected by this error. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the products, which contain different active ingredients (benzoyl peroxide versus chlorhexidine), could be confused by pet owners and veterinarians. These products were distributed to veterinary drug distributors nationwide.
Mislabeled shampoo may result in a pet receiving the wrong medication for their skin condition, which could lead to ineffective treatment or an adverse reaction to the incorrect active ingredient. No specific injuries or incidents have been reported in the provided data.
