Drug Recalls

Here you'll find every drug recall the FDA has issued, including prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, compounded pharmacy products, and dietary supplements. We've been tracking these since 2006 and our database updates several times a day so you're always looking at current information.

Drugs get recalled for a number of reasons: contamination during manufacturing, incorrect potency or dosage, failed quality testing (like dissolution or stability tests), sterility problems in injectable products, or labeling and packaging errors that could cause someone to take the wrong dose. If you find a product on this list that you use, please follow the instructions provided by the FDA to take the necessary precautions.
