Qualitest issued a voluntary recall for 101 lots of hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets because some tablets could contain higher doses than marked and result in patient liver toxicity, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
Recalled lots were distributed from Feb. 20 to Nov. 19 to wholesale distributors and national retail pharmacies.
Taking a higher dose of hydrocodone could increase severity or frequency of side effects, such as sedation or respiratory depression.
