The FDA Warns Against Using Unapproved Versions of
Juvederm
The FDA updated its�Dermal
Fillers (Soft Tissue Fillers) website to warn the public about unapproved
versions of Juvederm, such as Juvederm Ultra 2, 3, or 4, which are being sold
and distributed illegally in the U.S.
A list of
Juvederm products approved for use in the U.S. can be found on the
manufacturer�s website at juvederm.com. The FDA�s�Dermal
Fillers Approved by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health page
also provides a list of products approved for use in the U.S.
Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced�a recall of lot
L600518, Exp 05/18 of Mibelas 24 Fe (Norethindrone Acetate and Ethinyl
Estradiol 1 mg/0.02 mg chewable and ferrous fumarate 75 mg) Tablets at the
consumer level. A confirmed market complaint indicated a packaging error, where
the blister was rotated 180 degrees within the wallet, reversing the weekly
tablet orientation and making the lot number and expiration date no longer
visible. The first four days of therapy would have had four non-hormonal
placebo tablets as opposed to the active tablets.
Consumers who have the affected product should notify their
physician and return the product to the pharmacy or place of purchase and
contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any
problems that may be related to taking this drug product.
