What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a manufacturing defect that creates risk of harm—failed dissolution can result in inadequate delivery of a medication patients depend on for treating serious inflammatory conditions. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the defect affects core drug functionality.
Plain-English summary
Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. has issued a nationwide recall of Budesonide Extended-Release Tablets 9mg (NDC 0591-2510-30, Lot # 100047273, expiration 07/2025). The recall affects approximately 10,672 bottles in the 30-count package size. The tablets failed to meet FDA dissolution specifications, meaning they may not dissolve properly in the digestive system, potentially resulting in inadequate drug delivery.
Budesonide is a prescription corticosteroid used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease. When tablets fail to dissolve as intended, patients may not receive the full therapeutic dose required for their condition. No illnesses or injuries have been reported at this time.
Patients taking this medication should contact their pharmacist or healthcare provider to determine whether their supply includes tablets from the recalled lot. Do not stop taking budesonide without consulting a healthcare professional, as abrupt discontinuation of corticosteroids can have serious health consequences. Patients with affected medication should obtain a replacement supply from their pharmacy.
