Novartis Consumer Health Inc. has recalled multiple lots of Excedrin, NoDoz, Bufferin and Gas-X Prevention because the tablets may be chipped or broken or the packages may contain stray tablets, capsules or caplets from other Novartis medications.
Recalled products include:
- All lots of certain Excedrin products with an expiration date of Dec 20, 2014 or earlier
- All lots of Bufferin products with an expiration date of Dec 20, 2013 or earlier
- All lots of Gas-X Prevention products with an expiration date of Dec 20, 2013 or earlier
- All lots of NoDoz products with an expiration date of Dec 20, 2014 or earlier
The company states that no adverse events have been reported at this time, but the recall is being initiated because of the possibility that people could get the wrong dose of the medication they are taking due to broken or chipped tablets or that they could ingest other medications unknowingly due to stray tablets in the packaging. This could result in medication interactions or allergic reaction.
If you have any of the recalled products, stop taking them and contact Novartis Consumer Healthcare at 1-888-477-2403 (available Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time) to get a full refund. If you believe you may have developed any problems after taking one of the recalled products, contact your health care provider. You can also report adverse events through the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Events Reporting Program.

This is the best price I’ve seen for this podurct. Shipping was quick and professional. Yes, shooting red peppers up your nostrils burns a bit but it works fantastic and I’d rather have a few second of burning over days or weeks of nagging sinus infection. If you haven’t tried it, I strongly suggest you do. I use it to clear up the occasional infection but my wife finds it indispensable for clearing out sinus infections and preventing migraines as well as for battling regular allergies. As Nationally Certified Massage Therapists here in Indianapolis and Carmel Indiana, my wife and I see a lot of patients looking for non-pharmaceutical methods of relieving pain and illness. This is one of the few podurcts we endorse.Rating: 5 / 5
