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 with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard stems from manufacturing process deviations (temperature abuse) that could affect product potency; no acute safety threat has been documented.
Plain-English summary
McKesson Medical-Surgical Inc. is recalling doxycycline hyclate 100 mg tablets, a prescription antibiotic. The recall affects 108 cartons of 50-count packaging that were distributed throughout the United States.
