Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. has recalled approximately 3,900 units of Acyclovir Tablets (400 mg) and Carvedilol Tablets (6.25 mg) because of a label mix-up. A report was received stating that a bottle labeled as Acyclovir actually contained Carvedilol, a medication used for different medical purposes. These prescription medications were manufactured by Cadila Healthcare Ltd. in India and distributed nationwide across the United States.
Taking the wrong medication due to a labeling error can result in serious health consequences, such as receiving a blood pressure medication (Carvedilol) instead of an antiviral (Acyclovir), which may cause unintended low blood pressure or failure to treat the primary infection.
