Drug Recall Information

Recalls

A drug recall occurs when a medication is removed from the market because it is found to be either defective or potentially harmful. The FDA along with pharmaceutical companies monitors medications out on the market for unforeseen problems. If an issue is identified, or the safety of the medication becomes a concern, a recall is initiated.
