Pfizer Recalls Products
The pharma sector continues to be swamped by product recalls. Pfizer, Inc.’s (PFE – Analyst Report) wholly owned subsidiary, Greenstone, recently announced the voluntary recall of two products in the US due to possible mislabeling. The recalled medicines are citalopram 10mg tablets (100-count bottle) and finasteride 5mg tablets (90-count bottle).
Pfizer indicated that a third-party manufacturer may have placed the incorrect labels on the bottles. While bottles containing citalopram, an anti-depressant, have been labeled finasteride, the reverse has been done for bottles containing finasteride, which is used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Only one lot has been recalled.
Over the past few quarters, the pharma sector has seen several product recalls. A company that has consistently been in the news for product recalls is Johnson & Johnson (JNJ – Analyst Report).
Last week, Johnson & Johnson recalled several lots of Blake Silicone Drains, Blake Silicone Drain Kits, Blake Cardio Connectors, J-VAC Reservoirs and J-VAC Drain Adapters. In February, the company had announced the voluntary recall of certain lots of its schizophrenia product, Invega Sustenna (234 mg).
Other products that were recalled over the past few quarters include Tylenol, Benadryl, Motrin, Rolaids, Invega Sustenna, Simponi and Sudafed Pe among others.

Q. What are some of the symptoms that quadriplegics and paraplegics experience?
Q. What are some of the symptoms that quadriplegics and paraplegics experience?
A. There are many medical complications that follow a spinal cord injury.
- Spastic muscles, where the muscles tighten up in abnormal positions, are quite common. Especially where the injury is incomplete, considerable pain can be associated with this condition. Massage and anti-spastic medications are used to relieve the symptoms.
- The other opposite symptom involves muscles that are completely limp. Physical therapy can help to maintain muscle tone, and special equipment may be worn to support the joints.
- Chronic pain is common.
- Bladder and bowel dysfunction is a constant concern, especially for complete spinal injuries, but can also be an issue for those with partial spinal injuries.
- Heart irregularities, low blood pressure, and other heart problems, including blood clots, are a serious concern in many cases.
- Respiratory problems are especially common with quadriplegia.
