Zyrtec Recall Alert: Ranitidine Contamination | Seattle News

A major recall is underway for certain Cetirizine Hydrochloride (generic Zyrtec) tablets after they were found potentially contaminated with ranitidine — the old Zantac ingredient known for serious health risks. Four specific lot numbers of 100-count bottles are being pulled due to visible red dots on the tablets, which could trigger life-threatening allergic reactions including breathing trouble, swelling, or loss of consciousness. The recall was initiated by Unique Pharmaceutical Laboratories, who urge immediate discontinuation and consultation with a healthcare provider. The FDA has issued the alert — a crucial reminder to always verify medication lot numbers and stay vigilant with prescription drugs.
