ADHD medication recalled after wrong pills found in bottle
Newsy
A pharmacist found sedative tablets in a bottle of Zenzedi, which is a stimulant and has the opposite effect on the body.
Azurity Pharmaceuticals has recalled an ADHD and narcolepsy medication after the wrong pills were discovered in one of its bottles.
The recall notice, which applies to a batch of Zenzedi 30 milligram tablets, came after a pharmacist in Nebraska found tablets of carbinoxamine maleate, an antihistamine drug, in a bottle labeled Zenzedi.
Zenzedi is a stimulant, while carbinoxamine maleate is a sedative, and has the opposite effect on the body.
"Patients who take carbinoxamine instead of Zenzedi will experience undertreatment of their symptoms, which may result in functional impairment and an increased risk of accidents or injury," Azurity said in its recall notice.
Those who unknowingly ingest carbinoxamine could experience sleepiness, drowsiness, central nervous system depression, increased eye pressure, enlarged prostate urinary obstruction, and thyroid disorder, the company said.
