Drug recall
Unichem Pharmaceuticals (USA), Inc. voluntarily issued a drug recall of one lot of Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride Tablets USP 10 mg after reporting a packaging error.
Bottles were filled with a completely different drug, Meloxicam 7.5 mg and Unichem is notifying patients, pharmacists and prescribers to the potential dangers.
Packaging Error
This drug recall is not an ingredient issue; this is a whole lot of medication incorrectly mixed up.
Instead of receiving cyclobenzaprine 10 mg, patients are receiving something else entirely.
Meloxicam is generally used for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxer.
Therefore, taking someone else’s medication or the wrong medication can seriously divert a person’s recovery.
Why Is This Drug Recall Important?
Unichem Pharmaceuticals has not reported any adverse events as of this release; however, the potential danger runs widespread.
Taking meloxicam instead of cyclobenzaprine presents complications, including:
- Heart attack and stroke
- Gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers and stomach pain
- Kidney damage and failure
- Skin rash and anaphylaxis
Those in greater danger are those with existing cardiac problems, problems with blood pressure, bleeding disorders, or renal dysfunction or those who have been prescribed blood thinners or other NSAIDs.
