Mylan-Minocylcine 50mg Capsules and Mylan-Amlodipine 5 mg Tablets Recalled


Ottawa, ONT: Following a complaint by a pharmacist regarding a prescription product containing the wrong medication, Mylan Pharmaceuticals has begun a voluntary recall of one lot (1037180) of MYLAN-MINOCYCLINE 50mg capsules, (bottles of 100) and MYLAN-AMLODIPINE 5mg tablets, (bottles of 100).

The risk to a patient, who is sensitive or allergic to tetracyclines or minocycline, and is taking MYLAN-AMLODIPINE to treat their high blood pressure or angina, but is now using MYLAN-MINOCYCLINE due to a labelling error, can be life-threatening. In addition, a patient who requires MYLAN-AMLODIPINE for their high blood pressure or angina will not get the medication needed to help them treat these conditions.

MYLAN-AMLODIPINE is used to treat high blood pressure and angina (chest pain). MYLAN-MINOCYCLINE is used to treat certain types of skin infections, urinary tract infections, gallbladder infections, and respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinusitis.
