Morphine Recall Expanded

ETHEX Corp has issued the following recall :

The expanded recall includes:
  • Morphine Sulfate Extended-Release Tablets 15mg, 30mg & 60mg (All Strengths)
  • Morphine Sulfate Immediate-Release Tablets 15mg & 30 mg (All Strengths)
  • Dextroamphetamine Sulfate Tablets 5mg & 10mg (All Strengths)
  • Isosorbide Mononitrate Extended-Release Tablets 30mg, 60mg & 120mg (All Strengths)
  • Propafenone HCl Tablets 150mg, 225mg & 300 mg (All Strengths)
The recall of these drugs had previously been issued at the wholesale level, but is now being expanded to the retail level. ETHEX is taking this action as a precautionary measure, because the products may have been manufactured under conditions that did not sufficiently comply with the Food & Drug Administration’s current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.
