I’m posting this because a lot of retail stores and Texas public schools use Medline products as their go-to for medical supplies.<\/p>\n
In a press release by the FDA, Medline is recalling lot # 45810 of Acetaminophen tablets because their acetaminophen packages labeled as 325 mg really have 500 mg instead.<\/p>\n
That’s epically bad.<\/p>\n
According to the press release, “The Acetaminophen 500mg, Tab 100\/BT (OTC20101) has been found to be mislabeled displaying \u201cAcetaminophen 325mg\u201d (OTC10101) instead of \u201cAcetaminophen 500mg\u201d.\u00a0The Acetaminophen tablets, 500mg is incorrectly labeled as 325 mg tablets. This error is not easily identifiable by the user or prescriber. If the product is taken at the maximum labeled dose, every four hours, five doses a day, or with other medications containing acetaminophen, it may lead to liver toxicity or liver failure.”<\/p>\n
If you’ve got a Medline 325 mg acetaminophen tablets for dispensing, triple check to see if they’re part of this recall.<\/p>\n
