“PD-Rx Doxycycline Recall: Failed Dissolution Specs.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/37118-pd-rx-doxycycline-recall-failed-dissolution-specs. Based on FDA recall #D-1276-2020 (https://api.fda.gov/drug/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22D-1276-2020%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
The tablets failed dissolution specifications, which is a quality control measure ensuring the drug breaks down correctly. If the tablets do not dissolve as intended, the active ingredient may not be absorbed effectively by the body. This can lead to subtherapeutic dosing, meaning the antibiotic might not treat the infection properly.

Patients currently taking Doxycycline Hyclate 100 mg tablets prescribed by PD-Rx Pharmaceuticals are affected. Individuals who have purchased these specific lots between the manufacturing dates and their expiration dates (ranging from June 2020 to January 2021) are at risk of receiving ineffective medication.
