Public Alert No. 036/2020- AvKARE Recalls Sildenafil 100MG Tablets And Trazodone 100mg Tablets Due To Product Mix Up During Bottling

,

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has been informed by the U.S Food and Drug Administration that AvKARE has recalled Sildenafil 100mg tablets and Trazodone 100mg tablets due to product mix-up. The Sildenafil 100mg and Trazodone 100mg were inadvertently packaged together during bottling by a third-party facility.

Sildenafil is the generic name for Viagra, which is a PDE-5 inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction. Unintentional consumption of sildenafil may pose serious health risks to consumers with underlying medical issues.

Trazodone hydrochloride is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder. Unintended intake of trazodone may result in adverse health consequences.
