Plain-English summary

Aidapak Services, LLC is recalling 1 mg Sirolimus tablets (NDC 00008104105) that may be potentially mislabeled as other medications. The specific products involved include lots with pedigree AD60272_43 (expiration 5/22/2014) and W003329 (expiration 6/18/2014). The recall is due to a label mixup where these Sirolimus tablets may be incorrectly identified as Propranolol HCL 10 mg or Hydrocortisone 5 mg.

The repacked drugs were distributed in Arizona, California, Oregon, and Washington. Because the mislabeled products could lead to patients receiving the wrong medication, the FDA has classified this as a Class II recall. This classification indicates that use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

Patients and healthcare providers should check their medication labels and contact their pharmacist or prescriber if they have received Sirolimus tablets that appear to be labeled as Propranolol HCL or Hydrocortisone. Do not take the medication if there is any uncertainty regarding the label or product identity.
