Do not stop taking this without speaking to your pharmacist or doctor.
Why this is on The Recall Registry: This is a consumable product recalled for what is inside it. It was found to contain a drug or chemical that is not on the label. That is different from an allergen or a contamination scare: anyone taking it has been taking a substance nobody prescribed, in an unknown dose, and it can interact with medication they are already on. Follow the agency notice rather than judging it by how the product looks.
CGMP Deviations: Presence of N-nitroso-duloxetine impurity above FDA recommended interim limit
The Recall Registry rates this serious — FDA Class II: temporary or medically reversible health harm.
Check the lot numbers below against what you have. Do not stop taking a prescription medicine because of a recall without speaking to your pharmacist or doctor first — for many medicines stopping is more harmful than continuing, and they can tell you whether yours is affected and what to do about it.
