Arbor Pharmaceuticals has recalled three lots of Cetylev (acetylcysteine) effervescent tablets for oral solution, 500 mg, due to an inadequate seal on the blister packs. An inadequate seal could result in an increase of oxygen and moisture entering the blister cavity which can start the effervescent process, a [recall notice](http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm517287.htm?ref=fdaweb.com) says. This can result in enlarged and swelled tablets which could also completely dissolve within the blister pack. An improper seal can also lead to a potentially sub-therapeutic dose as well as potential microbial contamination, it adds. Cetylev is indicated as an antidote for acetaminophen overdose.
