there has been a recall of drugs from Able Laboratories... the FDA published this over the weekend.... CHECK YOUR MEDICATIONS!!!.... if you have any of those on the list, with the code numbers that are shown, take 'em BACK and call your doc for a new type of the same meds!!....

here's the lists and the announcement from the FDA....

http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2005/NEW01182.html


might not be a 'terrible' thing, but they didn't say WHY exactly....... but the Able Labs have been closed down... and that tells me it's IMPORTANT.... right?....

and do note... this only applies to meds that were made by ABLE... not by any other drug manufacturer!!!.... so be sure the codes on the pill match those on the list before you take them back to the drugstore!....

three of my meds are on that list, but none of them were made by ABLE.... so I'm cool... just found out about this from son.... lousy timing for an announcement, over a holiday.... many folks have missed it, too....

get the word out, gang.... ok?.... thanks....

Thanks. We have 2 meds on the list but Jack's come thru VA so we have no way of checking their source and mine have a different lab listed. Sometimes this action is brought on by jealous competitors but sometimes it is a safety or sanitation problem. Just good to know about it tho.
