Northwind Pharmaceuticals is recalling specific lots of Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim 800mg/160mg tablets because a microorganism was found in the packaging material. This does not affect the tablets themselves, but the packaging issue could pose a risk if the tablets are exposed to moisture or improper storage.
