Check your pharmacy stock, and review patient pill choices: A nationwide recall of multiple lots of Qualitest oral contraceptives (OCs) has been issued after the Huntsville, AL-based manufacturer detected a packaging error that could lead to incorrect administration of pills.
The voluntary, nationwide retail-level recall of the multiple lots was issued by the company Sept. 15, 2011. Qualitest is a wholly owned subsidiary of Endo Pharmaceuticals of Chadds Ford, PA.
