A batch of 4%, 50 ml topical lidocaine HCl solution was recalled by Teligent Pharma after tests conducted by the company indicated that it contained too much of the drug.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revocation notice states that a dosage too strong for the patient can result in "systemic toxicity of the local anesthetic."

“System toxicity of the local anesthetic can lead to central nervous system reactions, including agitation or depression, and more serious signs of cardiovascular toxicity, such as bradycardia, hypotension and even cardiovascular collapse, can occur very quickly,” the report said. “If systemic toxicity from local anesthetics is not recognized and treated promptly, it can result in serious morbidity and even death.”

Party # 14218 is withdrawn, which expires 09/2022. If you have a withdrawn pain reliever, return it to where you bought it and get full compensation.
