What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which involves a potential for temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. A label mixup between two distinct prescription drugs (glyburide and digoxin) carries a significant risk of incorrect medication administration, justifying a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Aidapak Services, LLC is recalling glyBURIDE MICRONIZED tablets, 3 mg, NDC 00093803501. The recall is due to a labeling error where the product may have been mislabeled as DIGOXIN tablets, 0.125 mg, NDC 00115981101. The affected glyBURIDE MICRONIZED tablets have pedigree W003155 and an expiration date of 6/13/2014.

The repacked drugs were distributed in Arizona, California, Oregon, and Washington. This labeling mixup poses a risk because glyburide and digoxin are different medications with distinct therapeutic uses and safety profiles. Patients or healthcare providers may inadvertently administer or dispense the wrong drug if the labels are incorrect.

Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for glyBURIDE MICRONIZED tablets with the specified pedigree and expiration date. If found, these products should be quarantined and returned to the distributor or manufacturer for credit. Patients should consult their healthcare provider if they have received or taken the affected product.
