Voluntary nationwide recall: Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim (Amneal – June)
Amneal Pharmaceutical LLC is recalling certain lots of Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim Tablets, USP, 400 mg/80 mg. Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim is used for the treatment of certain bacterial infections.
This drug is being recalled because tablets may have black spots due to microbial contamination. These black spots were reported during a product quality complaint. Using a drug that has microbial contamination may cause life-threatening illness. The use of the defective product in patients with underlying immunosuppressive conditions increases the concern for serious infections.
To see if your medication was recalled, contact your doctor or pharmacy where you received it or visit the FDA website below. If you have an affected lot of Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim, you should stop using the product and return it to Amneal.
