What does this mean?
Although these recalled tablets are not likely to cause any health problems, you should still look at your prescription to see if you are taking Ultram ER (extended-release tramadol hydrochloride) 100 mg tablets made by Biovail Corporation. The prescription label often has the manufacturer printed on it. If you think your tablets may be involved in the recall, or if you are not sure who made your tablets, you should return them to your pharmacy to examine and possibly exchange.
