A November 2018 recall on infant liquid ibuprofen is expanding. It now includes Ibuprofen Oral Suspension Drops, USP, 50 mg per 1.25 mL, sold at Wal-mart, CVS and Family Dollar.
The drug maker Tris-Pharma says, these batches could have higher levels of Ibuprofen concentration than are on the label. The product is used as a pain reliever/fever reducer and is packaged in ½ oz. and 1 oz. bottles. This voluntarily recall includes a total of six lots.
The three most recent additions to the recall are:
- At Walmart, the “Equate” label and the National Drug Code (NDC) 49035-125-23; the products being withdrawn have the lot numbers 00717005A, 00717009A, 00717015A and 00717024A on their label.
