Apotex Corporation is recalling four lots of drospirenone and ethinylestradiol.
The affected tablets were distributed nationwide.
The FDA says the product could become less effective if a patient does not take a tablet because it is missing or takes a placebo instead of an active tablet, leading to pregnancy.

Recalled products should be returned to the pharmacy where they were purchased.
The recalled products expire in August 2020.
