Posted Aug 11 2011 5:57pm
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning U.S. consumers not to use the emergency birth control medicine labeled as Evital. These products may be counterfeit versions of the “morning after pill” and may not be safe or effective in preventing pregnancy.
Evital has not been approved by the FDA for use in the United States.
This potentially ineffective and suspect counterfeit emergency birth control may also be in distribution in some Hispanic communities in the United States.
The packaging label of the potentially ineffective and suspect counterfeit version says, “Evital Anticonceptivo de emergencia, 1.5 mg, 1 tablet”, by “Fluter Domull”,(see picture):
