Qualitest Pharmaceuticals Recalls Phenobarbital

Today I received an alert from the American Veterinary Medical Association warning that phenobarbital manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals might be mismarked.  While the label says the tablets are phenobarbital, the tablets inside may actually be hydrocodone or acetaminophen.  If your pet is on phenobarbital manufactured by Qualitest to control seizures, please call your veterinarian to verify the safety of the medication.  Even though the company issued a recall in early February, the FDA reports they are still receiving reports of pets suffering severe health problems after receiving the mislabeled medication.
