Search your medication shelves at home for infant’s and children’s brand name liquid products Tylenol, Benadryl, Zyrtec and Motrin products and check the National Drug Code (NDC) before giving them to your children. Recent recalls on these medicines were issued due to a variety of quality concerns, including active ingredients outside the acceptable range and flecks of solid within liquid medications. To date, nobody has become ill from using the recalled medication. There are a number of other products on the market, including generic versions of the recalled products, which are intended for use in infants and children and are not affected by the recall. FDA recommends that you check the labeling of these products and does not anticipate that there will be a shortage of alternatives. To check your medications, find the NDC on the box and compare it to the McNeil’s Product Recall Notice. The NDC number can be found on the label of the bottle above the brand name.
