What should you do? A recall doesn't always mean your specific bottle is affected - it often applies to certain lots only. Check the lot number on your package against the FDA notice, and talk to your pharmacist before stopping any medication.
Reason Lack of Assurance of Sterility: FDA inspection found insufficient environmental controls, potential cross contamination and lack of product specific process validations that can result in a lack of sterility assurance.
Reason Penicillin Cross Contamination: All lots of all products repackaged and distributed between 01/05/12 and 02/12/15 are being recalled because they were repackaged in a facility with penicillin products without adequate separation which could introduce the potential for cross contamination with penicillin.
