Birth Control Packaging Error Leads to Recall – May 2018

On May 24, 2018,  Allergan voluntarily recalled one lot of Taytulla® sample birth control packs due to pill sequencing concerns. The first four days of the pack included non-hormonal placebos instead of active pills.  As a result of this packaging error, contraceptive failure and unintended pregnancy may occur.

If you received a sample(s) of Taytulla, check the lot number.  If you have an affected sample, lot #5620706., please return it to our office for replacement, and use another form of birth control in the meantime.

To view the details of the recall, visit the FDA’s website at www.fda.gov/safety/recalls and click on the Taytulla link.
