Lady Gaga's Controversial Role as Pfizer's Nurtec Spokesperson

Lady Gaga's partnership with Pfizer's Nurtec ODT migraine treatment has sparked controversy among fans, with some criticizing her for promoting a pharmaceutical brand.

Pfizer recalled more than 4.2 million units of the Nurtec 75-milligram tablets on March 16, 2023, because the packaging wasn’t child-resistant and posed a poison risk.

Pfizer recalls millions of Nurtec ODT migraine drug packs over child poisoning risk and packaging flaw.

Pfizer is recalling over four million packages of Nurtec ODT prescription migraine medication due to a risk of poisoning to children as the packaging does not meet child-resistant packaging safety requirements. The medication was distributed at pharmacies nationwide from Dec. 2021 through March 2023. Consumers can obtain a free child-resistant pouch to store the product and pharmacists will place the blister packages into vials with child-resistant lids when filling patient prescriptions. No incidents have been reported in connection with the issue. Pfizer is working to create new packaging for the medication to comply with child-resistant packaging requirements.
