UNAPPROVED DRUGSNationwide distributionDrugs

What this means

Teva Pharmaceuticals is recalling specific lots of Clonidine Transdermal System (0.2 mg/day) patches because they were made with an unapproved raw material that does not meet manufacturing standards. Two lots are affected: 100060002 (expires 07/2026) and 100066802 (expires 05/2027). No injuries have been reported.

  • Check if your Clonidine patch matches lot 100060002 or 100066802
  • If it does, contact your pharmacy or doctor before stopping the medication
  • Do not suddenly stop using Clonidine without medical guidance, as this can cause serious blood pressure changes
  • Ask your pharmacist for a replacement from a non-recalled lot
