Adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of a recalled product can be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting Program online, by mail, or by fax.

Actual drug patent expiration dates and availability of new medications are subject to change due to patent litigation, settlement agreements, additional patents, exclusivities, and final FDA approval. Distribution and availability of new medications at pharmacies may not occur immediately following FDA approval. Patients are advised to speak with their healthcare professional or pharmacist regarding appropriateness as well as actual availability.
