Four lots of three bottle sizes (80mL, 150mL and 300mL) of vancomycin oral solution (Amneal) were recalled on March 27, 2024. Because the bottles were overfilled, doses may be too large – posing a hazard for patients who have kidney disorders or intestinal inflammation. Vancomycin is an antibiotic that treats enterocolitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains) and antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis caused by Clostridioides difficile. Read the FDA’s notice for more information about the recall.
