Griseofulvin Anti-Fungal Oral Suspension Recalled

Posted on April 29, 2008

Ortho-McNeil is recalling the company's griseofulvin 125 mg/ml oral suspension, which is used to treat ringworm and other fungal infections. The drug is being recalled because glass fragments were found in two of the bottles.

The affected products are Grifulvin V, marketed by Ortho Dermatological, and the generic griseofulvin oral suspension, which has a Patriot Pharmaceuticals label. The recall is limited to the liquid formulation of the medication and does not include any other dosage form.

The recalled lots were shipped to distributors in the United States between August 2005 and March 2007. The company is sending recall letters to wholesalers and pharmacies nationwide. Consumers who believe they have the recalled product should contact the pharmacy where they purchased the medicine.
