Antifungal Powder Recalled Due to Low Active Ingredient Content

Medline Industries is recalling REMEDY Antifungal powder nationwide because it contains insufficient miconazole nitrate (the active ingredient). The product was shipped before assay testing was complete.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall for insufficient active ingredient (low assay). No hospitalizations, illnesses, or injuries reported. The hazard is a manufacturing quality and potency issue rather than contamination or direct safety threat.

Plain-English summary

REMEDY Antifungal, a topical antifungal powder manufactured by Medline Industries, is being recalled nationwide.

The affected lot is #007782 with expiration date August 31, 2024.

The recall was initiated because the product was released from the manufacturer to distribution while investigation for low assay results was still ongoing.

This release prior to completed testing represents a violation of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) standards.
