Seventy-five bottles of <"https://www.yourlawyer.com/practice_areas/defective_drugs">metronidazole tablets are being recalled by Teva Pharmaceuticals because the pills may be underweight. As such, the metronidazole tablets may not contain an adequate amount of active ingredient.

Metronidazole is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic and asymptomatic trichomoniasis, and treatment of asymptomatic consorts, amebiasis and a variety of anaerobic bacterial infection. Taking pills that are underweight and lack an appropriate amount of active ingredient could result in a worsening of such infections, which in some instances could become life-threatening.

This recall involves one lot, or around 75 bottles, of Metronidazole Tablets USP, 250mg. Each recalled bottle, which contains 250 tablets, bears lot number 312566, and an expiration date of 05/2011. The affected tablets were shipped in May 2009.

According to the recall notice, wholesalers and retailers have been previously notified of this recall via overnight notification on 10/25/10 and are in the process of returning this product lot. Consumers who have lot 312566 in their possession are instructed to cease using the product and return it to their pharmacy. Wholesalers and retailers should cease distribution and examine their inventory immediately.

Teva said it has not learned of any side effects associated with the underweight tablets.

After suffering pain from a serious injury that occurred during a slip and fall, Parker Waichman gave me Julie Trinidad, which was an effective decision. Ms. Trinidad made my life easier during the stressful time. She provided all answers on a timely manner and did an efficient job with my injury case. Sometimes she provided answers for questions before I could even think of them. She always kept me up to date with all aspects of the case and made sure to see if was in decent condition. I never had to worry because I was in perfect hands and with someone who actually cares about the client (which was me). If anyone I know needs legal advice I would recommend Parker Waichman base off of the great experience and assistance I received from Julie Trinidad. Ms. Trinidad was the best. Merlyn M
