Cinacalcet Tablets recall
FDA recall D-0079-2025 · initiated Nov 7, 2024
Aurobindo Pharma USA Inc recalled Cinacalcet Tablets in Nov 2024 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0079-2025) because cGMP Deviations: Presence of N-nitroso Cinacalcet impurity above FDA recommended interim limit.
May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.
Why it was recalled
cGMP Deviations: Presence of N-nitroso Cinacalcet impurity above FDA recommended interim limit
An impurity above the accepted limit
A by-product of manufacturing or storage exceeded the limit the FDA accepts. Nitrosamines are the common example: the concern is long-term exposure, not immediate danger from one dose.
This is a manufacturing or quality failure, not a finding that the medicine is unsafe to take — across every recall we hold, none was issued for that reason. It does not mean the batch was harmless.
