Walco International Inc is recalling Suppressor brand Flunixin Meglumine Injection 50 mg/mL, an animal drug used in veterinary medicine, which is sold in 100mL and 250mL bottles. The product label incorrectly states the drug can be administered by intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) injection, when it is actually intended for IV use only. Using this medication as an intramuscular injection can lead to dangerous drug residues remaining in the animal's system. This recall affects products distributed to 13 retail locations primarily in Northern California's Central Valley.
If this medication is injected into the muscle (IM) instead of the vein (IV) as intended, it can cause the animal to retain drug residues that exceed safety limits. This poses a risk to the food supply chain if the animal is used for food production, as these violative residues may be present in meat or milk.
