*** Breaking Ethex Recall News ***

Update: 1/28/2009 - The U.S Food & Drug Administration in association with ETHEX Corporation has issued another nationwide recall of many products.  You can view the full recall list by clicking here, or by scrolling down on this page to the section titled, “Which ETHEX drugs are subject to recall?”

November 7, 2008 the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in association with ETHEX Corporation announced an urgent nationwide recall of five generic /non-branded pharmaceutical products.  The recalled lots have been pulled from market as a precaution, due to the possibility that they may contain oversized tablets. Oversized tablets may contain more than the intended levels of the active drug ingredient, which could result in patients receiving as much as about twice the expected dosage of these drugs.
