Summary

Wedgewood Village Pharmacy, Inc. has voluntarily recalled approximately 61,421 units of various Twist-A-Dose transdermal gel pens used for veterinary patients. These medications, including treatments like Methimazole and Amitriptyline, were distributed nationwide through veterinary clinics and directly to pet owners. The recall was initiated because the products may be contaminated with mold, which could lead to infections or adverse health reactions in animals. No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date, but owners are advised to stop using these specific medications immediately.

Risk

The potential presence of mold contamination in these transdermal gels poses a risk of infection or local irritation to the animal receiving the medication. If applied to a pet, the mold could cause unexpected health complications depending on the pet's immune status and the species of mold present.
