Pfizer Recalls Faulty Neurontin (gabapentin) 100mg Capsules

Pfizer Recalls Epilepsy Drug
Pfizer is recalling about 40,000 bottles of its epilepsy drug Neurontin
due to a manufacturing error that caused some bottles to be filled with
empty or partially filled capsules, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) said.

The 100-milligram capsules bear lot number 15224V and were distributed
only in the United States in October and November 2004. No other
Neurontin lots are affected, the company said.

The FDA warned that people with epilepsy who take the empty or partially
filled capsules could experience seizures. The company did not mention
any adverse incidents stemming from the recalled product.

Consumers with questions about the recall should contact Pfizer Medical
Information at 1-800-438-1985.
