Reason for recall
Marketed without an Approved NDA/ANDA: This recall is being initiated because of changes to the dissolution profile in distributed lots resulting from a manufacturing site change. There is currently no approved application supporting the alternate manufacturing site.
Potency and specification recalls happen when a batch tests outside its approved limits for strength, purity or dissolution, which can mean the dose delivered is higher or lower than labelled.
