Ethex recalled several lots of both Morphine and Hydromorphone due to manufacturing issues, which resulted in higher than expected dosage in the pills. Receiving higher than expected doses could increase the risk of serious and potentially life-threatening side effects, such as difficulty breathing, respiratory depression, low blood pressure or sedation. Recalled lots include: Morphine Sulfate ER 30mg Tablet/NDC # 58177-320-04: Lots 75090, 77846, 77847, 80048, 83320, 89661, 89665, 90252 through 90258, and 93284 Morphine Sulfate ER 60mg Tablet/NDC # 58177-330-04: Lots 91762, 75091, 75092, 77848 through 77851, 82517, 82518, 83333, 83817, 83862, 84111, 84112, 84315, 84900, 85326, 85335, 85807, 86270 through 86276, 87723, 87939, 88007, 89083, 89668, 89669, 89821, 90260 through 90272, and 91763 through 91765.
