Reason for recall

cGMP deviations: all products within expiry are being recalled because the firm is discontinuing its stability study program.

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.
