“Actavis Ramipril Recall: Incorrect Expiration Date on Bottles.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/42463-actavis-ramipril-recall-incorrect-expiration-date-on-bottles. Based on FDA recall #D-0118-2017 (https://api.fda.gov/drug/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22D-0118-2017%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
The primary hazard is the discrepancy between the printed expiration date (03/18) and the actual expiration date (09/17). While the record does not state the medication is unsafe, an incorrect date prevents users from knowing when the drug actually expires. Using medication past its true expiration date can reduce its effectiveness or alter its chemical stability.
Who’s affected
Consumers who purchased Ramipril Capsules, USP, 1.25 mg in 30-count bottles distributed nationwide and in Puerto Rico before August 30, 2016. Patients relying on this specific lot may be at risk of using medication past its verified expiration.

Check your bottle for the following details: Product name Ramipril Capsules, USP, 1.25 mg; 30-count bottle; NDC 16252-570-30; Lot # 1136091A; and an incorrect expiration date of 03/18 printed on the label.
