Pfizer Recalls Epilepsy Drug
Pfizer is recalling about 40,000 bottles of its epilepsy drug Neurontin due to a manufacturing error that caused some bottles to be filled with empty or partially filled capsules, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said.
The 100-milligram capsules bear lot number 15224V and were distributed only in the United States in October and November 2004. No other Neurontin lots are affected, the company said.
The FDA warned that people with epilepsy who take the empty or partially filled capsules could experience seizures. The company did not mention any adverse incidents stemming from the recalled product.
Consumers with questions about the recall should contact Pfizer Medical Information at 1-800-438-1985.
