Voluntary nationwide recall: Clonazepam (Endo – July)

Sep. 2024Pharmacy Updates

Endo USA Inc. has recalled one lot of Clonazepam Orally Disintegrating Tablets, USP (C-IV) 0.25 mg. Clonazepam is used to treat panic disorder and certain seizures.

This product is being recalled because the cartons of some packs show the product strength as 0.125 mg, not 0.25 mg, due to an error at a third-party packager. The blister strips inside the product pack reflect the correct strength of 0.25 mg.

Using this drug at a higher dose than prescribed may cause sleepiness, dizziness, loss of muscle control, and confusion.

As of July 16, there had been no reports of adverse events related to this recall.

To learn more about this recall:

  • Call Inmar Inc. at 1-877-890-0765. Help is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
