Following laboratory analysis, the FDA was able to confirm that Umary contains traces of diclofenac and omeprazole, which can put consumers at risk for cardiovascular events, serious skin reactions, and crippling abdominal pain.

Diclofenac is a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). In some people, NSAIDs can increase their risk of having a cardiovascular event, like heart attack and stroke. NSAIDs like diclofenac may also cause “serious gastrointestinal damage, including bleeding, ulceration, and fatal perforation of the stomach and intestines,” warns the FDA.

“This hidden drug ingredient may also interact with other medications and significantly increase the risk of adverse events, particularly when consumers use multiple NSAID-containing products,” reads the notice.

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that’s often prescribed for treating gastric acid-related issues. Common omeprazole side effects include serious skin reactions, stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, and headaches, per the FDA.

“This hidden ingredient may mask stomach issues such as erosion, ulcers, and stomach cancer, and it can also interact with other medications and should not be taken with certain medications,” according to the notice.

MXBBB says customers can identify whether their Umary supplements have been affected by referencing the Universal Product Code (UPC) and Lot number. Recalled bottles will bear “UPC: 7502265120323” and have a corresponding Lot number of “24183.” Plus, an expiration date stick that reads “07/01/28.”

The Umary Acid Hyaluronic supplements were “packaged in a plastic container” and came in a count of 30 caplets, each of which contained 850 mg. A total of 321 units were distributed online.

Those who have experienced an adverse reaction while taking Umary should speak with their healthcare provider. Issues can also be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online .
