Salicylic acid, an acutely toxic compound, is harmful if orally ingested. Consuming salicyclic acid may result in nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal irritation, hearing loss, sweating, blurred vision, mental confusion, cerebral edema, and cardiorespiratory arrest, which may be life-threatening. Patients who are allergic, are elderly, have a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding, consume ≥3 alcoholic drinks per day, or take concomitant salicylate-containing medication may be at higher risk for toxicity.
Novacare is notifying distributors and customers and is arranging for return of all recalled product.
