Sandoz Focalin XR 5 mg recalled for labeling error

Sandoz is recalling one lot of Focalin XR (dexmethylphenidate HCl) 5 mg extended-release capsules because some bottles have incorrect or missing lot numbers and expiration dates on the label.

• Do not discard the medication without guidance from your pharmacist or doctor.
