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: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates the product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard is a subpotent drug, which is a quality issue rather than a direct safety hazard like contamination or injury.

Plain-English summary

Physicians Total Care, Inc. is recalling 5 bottles of Enjuvia (synthetic conjugated estrogens, B) tablets, 0.3mg. The recall involves a specific lot with code 62QJ and an expiration date of 12/11. The product was manufactured by Duramed Pharmaceuticals and repacked and distributed by Physicians Total Care, Inc.

The recall was initiated because the medication failed to meet quality standards, specifically showing low Out of Specification (OOS) assay results. This indicates that the tablets contain less of the active ingredient than required, making them subpotent. The recall is described as a sub recall of Teva's Enjuvia.

The affected product was distributed in Virginia (VA). Patients who have this specific medication should contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance on how to proceed.
