Seizure and epilepsy medication recalls

25 FDA-recorded recalls of seizure and epilepsy medications, most recent Jun 2026 — newest first, straight from the FDA's own database.

Two of the largest reasons in this class are the two that matter most for epilepsy: a label error on the declared strength, and cross-contamination with another product — several primidone recalls were issued for exactly that. An anti-seizure medicine is titrated to keep a person seizure-free, so a tablet that is not the strength on the carton is a dosing error nobody can see. It is also the class where stopping abruptly is most dangerous: an interrupted anticonvulsant can trigger breakthrough seizures or status epilepticus. Check the lot, keep taking the medicine, and get a replacement.

How to use this page

A drug appearing here does not mean your prescription is unsafe. Recalls name specific lots and manufacturers — open the recall to see the affected lot numbers, and match them against your bottle. Never stop a blood-pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, antidepressant or antibiotic medicine on your own because of a recall; confirm your lot, then ask your pharmacist for a replacement if it is affected.

Other categories: Blood pressure medication · Eye drop and ophthalmic · Cholesterol medication · Diabetes medication · Antidepressant · Antibiotic · Thyroid medication · Allergy and antihistamine · Hormonal and contraceptive · ADHD and stimulant medication · Opioid and pain medication · Asthma and inhaler · Heartburn and acid-reflux medication. See also the full recalls tracker and the recall report.

Recalls are matched to this category by the drug names in the FDA’s product description; a small number of category recalls may be missed if the description omits the ingredient. Figures are recall events, not units, and reflect our copy of the FDA data, refreshed daily. This is public regulatory data, not medical advice.
