ohhh yea but that's like the brand name. but they were talking about the generic version being recalled

 

every drug has several companies that manufacture generics and so if it's just some rando brand then whatevs but reports like this make it sound like all the generics were recalled or st lolll

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a voluntary manufacturer-initiated recall of more than 7000 bottles of duloxetine delayed-release capsules due to unacceptable levels of a potential carcinogen.

Duloxetine (Cymbalta) is a serotonin-norepinephrinereuptake inhibitor used to treat major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia, chronic musculoskeletal pain, and neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

The recall is due to the detection of the nitrosamine impurity, N-nitroso duloxetine, above the proposed interim limit.

The affected bottles are from lot number 220128 with an expiration date of 12/2024 and NDC of 51991-746-05.

The recall was initiated on October 10 and is ongoing.

The FDA has labeled this a “class II” recall, which the agency defines as “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
