Attix Pharmaceuticals Recalls Amoxicillin Trihydrate Due to Missing Stability Data

Attix Pharmaceuticals is recalling Amoxicillin Trihydrate active pharmaceutical ingredient because stability data does not support the printed expiry dates.

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 II, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is theoretical (lack of stability data), which aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures without reported harm.
