Quality Control

Updated

I bought a 130 ct bottle of low dosage Bufferin for heart reasons. (I recently had a tripple bypass) I noticed that several pills we only half sized while others were concave on one side thereby reducing the dosage. I have switched to Bayer.

If they were purchased in the U.S. you can report these anomalies to the FDA at 800-332-1088, but they will probably need the information from the packaging, such as the lot number and expiration date.

You can also contact the manufacturer and the information to do that should also be on the packaging.

Are there any other questions or comments?

I have the same problem. Half sized pills with some concave pills. They are from a 130 ct also. I need to know how to get in touch the the maker. No info on the bottle, and the paper insert has been thrown away.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Bufferin is a bi-layer tablet. One layer is the aspirin portion and the other layer is the "Buffer" layer (calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, etc.). It sounds like the tablets split apart in the bottle from rough handling or being over compressed during manufacturing. I am not sure which layer is the aspirin layer but one of the half tablets will have no aspirin in it at all.
