Find the lot number printed on your box or bottle. If it matches — and you take this medicine — call your pharmacist. Don't stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

What happened

Lack of assurance of sterility: pinholes, within the blue label characters on the EXCEL bag, specifically within the dotted characters on the label, resulting in leaks.

What to do

  1. Check the lot number and expiry on your medicine against the recall above.
  2. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before changing anything — don't stop on your own.
  3. Report any problems to FDA MedWatch (1-800-FDA-1088 or fda.gov/medwatch).
