09 Apr 2025
Identifying Features
Name: ilium Methadone Injection
APVMA registration number: 63712
APVMA approved label number: 56141
Batch number: 241106
Sold by veterinary wholesalers in all states and territories between 13/12/2024 to 03/04/2025.
On 03/04/2025, 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 of the above-mentioned batch may not have a label on the bottle, although the product is enclosed in a carton with all relevant product information.
Hazard:
Unlabelled vials could potentially result in the product being used for unintended purposes. However, vials without labels are easy to identify immediately, and due to the strict regulations surrounding the use and record-keeping of Schedule 8 drugs, the risk of unlabelled Methadone being used is very low. If the vial is labelled, there is no risk and the product does not need to be returned.
What to do:
Veterinary wholesalers and end users should check all stock on hand of batch 241106 for affected units (i.e. unlabelled vials). If any unlabelled vials are found, please isolate the product and place it in quarantine. Troy Laboratories will provide advice on management of affected units and arrange for replacement.
