Novartis Consumer Health has recalled bottles of Excedrin, NoDoz, Bufferin, and Gas-X Prevention with certain expiration dates, because the products may contain either broken or chipped tablets, or stray tablets, capsules, or caplets from other Novartis products.
The recalled drugs include Excedrin and NoDoz products with expiration dates of December 20, 2014 or earlier, as well as Bufferin and Gas-X Prevention products with expiration dates of December 20, 2013 or earlier.
The Food and Drug Administration reports that the over-the-counter products were distributed nationwide to wholesalers and retailers alike.
Mixing different products in the same bottle can result in consumers taking the incorrect product and receiving a higher or lower strength than intended, or receiving an unintended ingredient. This could result in overdose, interaction with other medications, or an allergic reaction. Novartis is not aware of adverse events reported with the issues leading to the recall.
If you have purchased any of the recalled products named above you should stop using them immediately and contact Novartis for a full refund. For information on how to return the affected products call Novartis at 888-477-2403. For more information, visit www.novartisOTC.com.
