Zoetis Inc. is recalling approximately 600 bottles of Excenel RTU EZ (ceftiofur hydrochloride) Sterile Suspension, a veterinary antibiotic used for cattle and swine. The recall was initiated because 100 mL glass vials from a specific lot were accidentally shipped to seven customers in July 2015 after the product had already reached its expiration date of June 30, 2015. While this is a low-risk situation, the manufacturer is voluntarily retrieving the expired units to ensure product efficacy and compliance with safety standards.
Using expired medication may result in reduced potency or effectiveness of the antibiotic treatment. There have been no reports of adverse effects or injuries related to this shipment.
