More Morphine Recalled Along with Other Generic Ethex Drugs
Five months after Ethex Corporation first notified consumers about manufacturing problems with Morphine Sulfate tablets that allowed some double strength tablets to be sold, the generic drug maker has issued yet another recall, this time involving Dextroamphetamine, Isosorbide Mononitrate, Propafenone and other types of Morphine, all of which could have been sold with up to twice the appropriate amount of the drug in each tablet.

The product liability lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. currently represent individuals who have suffered a morphine overdose after receiving oversized Ethex Morphine tablets that were originally recalled in June 2008.
While Ethex originally indicated that the problems were limited to only certain lots of Morphine Sulfate tablets, last month the generic drug maker issued a recall for Detroamphetamine, and this week they issued yet another recall involving a number of different generic drugs where tablets could have been commercially released with more of the pharmaceutical ingredients than they were supposed to contain.
Below is a summary of all of the different Ethex drugs that have been recalled this year as a result of potentially oversized tablets:
- Morphine Sulfate: (Extended Release 15mg, 30mg and 60mg; Immediate Release 15mg and 30mg) – Painkiller could pose risk of a morphine overdose, with symptoms like low blood pressure, respiratory depression or death
- Dextroamphetamine Sulfate: (5mg and 10mg) – Nacolepsy and ADHD drug. Overdose could lead to rapid heart rate and high blood pressure
- Propafenone Hydrochloride: (150mg, 225mg and 300mg) – Irregular Heartbeat medication. Propafenon HCl overdose could cause heart arrhythmias and low blood pressure
- Isosorbide Mononitrate: (Extended Release 30mg and 60mg) – Drug is used to treat hypertension, arrhythmias and angina. Overdose could cause fainting and low blood pressure.
