All lots of Ferring Pharmaceuticals' multi-condition nasal spray are being recalled.
The problem? These lots have higher-than-specified amounts of desmopressin.
Higher amounts of desmopressin can lead to abnormally low levels of sodium in the blood. And very low levels of sodium in the blood can lead to dangerous health events, such as seizures, coma and even death.
