If your medicine is on this list
Find the lot number on your box or bottle (near the expiry, marked “Lot” or “L”) and match it to the records.
Call your pharmacist about a replacement if your lot matches.
Don't stop a prescribed medicine on your own — stopping some abruptly is itself dangerous. This isn't medical advice.
Is Escitalopram still recalled?
An FDA status of “Terminated” or “Completed” is an administrative state — FDA closed the recall action, not a statement about your bottle. Match the lot number on your medicine to the records above, and ask your pharmacist.
Common questions
Should I stop taking a recalled medication?
Don't stop a prescribed medicine on your own. A recall often affects only specific lots. Check your lot number, then call your pharmacist about a replacement.
How do I find my lot number?
It's printed on the box or bottle label, usually near the expiry date and marked “Lot”, “LOT”, or “L”. Match it to the affected lots on each record.
What do Class I, II, and III mean?
FDA's classes: Class I — reasonable chance of serious harm; Class II — temporary or reversible harm; Class III — unlikely to cause harm (often labeling). These are FDA's definitions.
