The company is based in the United States which means that it is required to follow all of the safety guidelines set forth by government agencies. While all medications must be approved by the FDA prior to being sold in the United States, it is easier to oversee and regulate a product that is made domestically.

There was reason to believe that some of these drug tablets might be oversized which could result in a potential overdose for a patient. Patients were advised to stop using medications from the affected batches and pharmacists were asked to return all medications from the affected batches. Patients were also advised to seek immediate medical attention if they experienced adverse reactions from the medications.

While Ethex strives to make drugs easy for patients to use, the potential for oversized drugs would make it difficult for a patient to take the correct dosage and could result in injury to the patient.
