On 06/11/2024, Troy Laboratories Pty Ltd (ABN: 000 283 769) initiated a voluntary recall under section 106 of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code scheduled to the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994 (Cth) in relation to the chemical product described above.
Reason for voluntary recall:
Some units in batch 240748A have an incorrect leaflet (ilium Meloxicam 0.5 anti-inflammatory oral suspension for cats) enclosed. All other aspects of the product are in order (contents, label, carton, syringe).
Hazard:
Following the dosing instructions from the incorrect leaflet (for use in cats, rather than dogs) could potentially lead to underdosing in dogs and therefore reduced efficacy. However, the information provided on both the label and carton are in order.
What to do:
Wholesalers should immediately quarantine all stock on hand of the recalled batch (240748A). Troy (details included below) will provide advice on management of affected units and arrangements for replacement. Veterinarians will be provided with replacement leaflets for affected units.
