On October 21, Wedgewood Pharmacy announced a US recall of certain compounded veterinary medicines still within expiry. The company said inconsistent laboratory testing data meant some products might be weaker or stronger than intended. The FDA published the company’s announcement. It describes affected shipments from February 18 through October 6, but the product, lot and expiration date determine whether a particular container is on the list. FDA-hosted recall notice
Take the label to the lookup
Get the original container and use Wedgewood’s lookup to match the label. The list spans several formulations, including certain oral, ear, eye, topical and injectable preparations, so check the exact product and lot even if you have a familiar prescription name. Ask the dispensing practice or pharmacy to help if the label is missing or unclear. Keep the packaging where you can find it again. Wedgewood recall lookup
If your dog’s medicine matches, the company asks owners to stop using the affected product, retain it and contact its recall service. Contact the prescribing veterinarian promptly about continuity of care and any medical concerns, especially if a dose is due. Have the container and the time of the last dose ready. A recall match answers a product question. Your veterinarian can advise what your individual dog needs next. FDA-hosted recall instructions
