USDA And Fedwatch Recall Alerts

TOPIC: Umary Acido Hialuronica, Suplemento Alimenticio 850 mg Capsules by SoloVital.com: Recall – Due to the Presence of Undeclared Drug Ingredients: Diclofenac and Omeprazole

AUDIENCE: Consumer, Health Professional, Pharmacy, Rheumatology

ISSUE: SoloVital.com is recalling all lots of Umary Acido Hialuronica, Suplemento Alimenticio – 30 Capletas de 850 mg because FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that UMARY has been found to be tainted with the drug ingredients, diclofenac and omeprazole. Products containing diclofenac and omeprazole drug cannot be marketed as dietary supplements. Umary is an unapproved new drug for which safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, subject to recall.

Risk Statement: Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (commonly referred to as NSAIDs). There is a reasonable probability that consumption of high levels of undeclared diclofenac could result in serious adverse events that include cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal, and anaphylaxis in patients taking concomitant NSAIDs and/or anticoagulants, such as warfarin, in those who have allergies to diclofenac, or those with underlying cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal, and hepatic illnesses.

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (commonly referred to as PPI) used to treat gastric (stomach) acid-related disorders. PPI medicines may cause serious skin reactions, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and headache. This hidden ingredient may mask stomach issues such as erosions, ulcers, and stomach cancer, and it can also interact with other medications and should not be taken with certain medications.
