Reason for recall
CGMP Deviations: Presence of N-nitroso-duloxetine impurity above the recommended interim limit
Nitrosamines are impurities that can form during drug manufacturing or storage. Above the FDA acceptable intake limit, long-term exposure may raise cancer risk. The FDA advises patients to keep taking the medicine until they have a replacement.
