Alveda is recalling one lot of its Furosemide Injection USP 10 mg/mL which has the same barcode on its inner label as that of its Epinephrine Injection USP 1 mg/mL and could result in a serious medication error due to misidentification of either product leading to inadvertent administration of the wrong product.
Aside from the barcode, the active ingredient, declared strength and all other label details are correct on each of the inner labels of Alveda Furosemide Injection USP 10 mg/mL and Alveda Epinephrine Injection USP 1 mg/mL.
Health care professionals are advised that ampoules of the affected lot of Furosemide should not be used and should be returned as outlined in the Recall Notice issued by Alveda Pharmaceuticals Inc. on May 22, 2015.
