Product defect recall for a specific batch of Calvubactin

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has declared a product recall for a specific batch of Calvubactin treatment for dogs and cats, due to an uncertain product efficacy guarantee after one year. In response to this, Le Vet Pharma is requesting for veterinary surgeons and wholesale dealers to inspect the inventory and quarantine all relevant products they have in stock.

The VMD stated: “We wish to make wholesalers and veterinary surgeons aware that Le Vet Pharma has issued a recall for batches of Clavubactin 50/12.5mg (Vm 19994/4028), Clavubactin 250/62.5mg (Vm 19994/4026) and Clavubactin 500/125mg (Vm 19994/4027), all distributed by Animalcare and Dechra. During routine stability testing the above-mentioned products do not fulfil the mandatory testing requirements at twenty-four months. This recall is because the efficacy of the product cannot be guaranteed after twelve months.”
