Umary USA has voluntarily recalled all lots of two dietary supplements marketed for joint pain and arthritis relief. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found these products contain undeclared prescription drugs that could cause serious health problems.
The recall affects Unavy Ácido Hialurónico and Umovy Ácido Hialurónico caplets, both sold in 30-count bottles. Consumers who have these supplements should stop using them immediately and consult a healthcare provider before stopping the product to avoid health risks.
Testing by the FDA revealed that the supplements contain diclofenac, dexamethasone, and omeprazole—drugs not listed on the label. Because of these hidden ingredients, the products are not legal dietary supplements. Their safety and effectiveness have not been proven.
Dexamethasone is a steroid that can weaken the immune system, raise blood sugar, damage muscles, cause mental health issues, and affect the heart. Long-term use can suppress adrenal gland function, and suddenly stopping it may cause withdrawal symptoms.
Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), can lead to serious heart, stomach, kidney, and allergic problems, especially for people on blood thinners or with allergies.
Omeprazole is used to reduce stomach acid but can hide serious stomach conditions like ulcers or cancer if taken unknowingly.
The supplements come in distinct packaging: Unavy Ácido Hialurónico in a white bottle with a black label and yellow text, and Umovy Ácido Hialurónico in a black bottle with a black label and blue text. Both contain 850 mg caplets.
Umary USA is notifying distributors and customers through press releases and emails. The company is arranging returns and refunds. So far, no adverse effects have been reported, but anyone experiencing problems should contact their healthcare provider and report issues to the FDA’s MedWatch program.

This recall highlights the risks of dietary supplements containing hidden drugs that can seriously harm health. Consumers should remain cautious and always check with healthcare professionals before using such products.
