Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Major ChlorproMazine Hydrochloride Tablets, USP, 100 mg recall: CGMP Deviations: Presence of N-Nitroso Desmethyl Chlorpromazine above

Recall published 1+ years ago

CGMP Deviations: Presence of N-Nitroso Desmethyl Chlorpromazine above the recommended intake limit

The hazard: Labelling or manufacturing-practice failure

A labelling or good-manufacturing-practice failure prompted this notice. Pharmacies and patients both rely on the printed carton being right.

What the notice says: CGMP Deviations: Presence of N-Nitroso Desmethyl Chlorpromazine above the recommended intake limit

Why it matters: The label, the strength printed on it, the barcode or the manufacturing records do not meet federal requirements. The practical danger is someone taking the wrong drug or the wrong dose while believing they have the right one.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If you may have taken a product that turned out to be a different drug or strength from the one on the label, call your prescriber, and call Poison Control on 1-800-222-1222 if you feel unwell. Describe what the pack said and what you actually took.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Labelling

Major Pharmaceuticals and Rugby Laboratories — A labelling or good-manufacturing-practice failure prompted this notice. Pharmacies and patients both rely on the printed carton being right.

  1. Compare the lot number and strength on your pack with the codes above and with what your prescription actually says.
  2. If what you were dispensed does not match your prescription, call the pharmacy before taking another dose.
  3. Keep taking the medicine as prescribed unless the notice or your prescriber says otherwise.
  4. Return the affected pack to the pharmacy for a replacement from a good lot.

Getting a replacement supply

Do not let a refund question interrupt your treatment. Deal with the supply first and the money second.

  • Call the pharmacy before you run low. They can see which lot they dispensed to you and will usually swap it the same day.
  • Insurers do not normally count a recall replacement against a refill limit. If one is refused, ask the pharmacist to call it through as a recall override.
  • Over-the-counter products are refunded at the till like any other purchase; the recall notice on your phone is enough to explain the return.
  • If the manufacturer runs a direct reimbursement form, it will be linked from the official notice on this page.
