Atomoxetine Capsules recall
FDA recall D-0238-2025 · initiated Jan 29, 2025
Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Inc., USA recalled Atomoxetine Capsules in Jan 2025 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0238-2025) because CGMP Deviations: presence of N-Nitroso Atomoxetine Impurity above the FDA recommended limit.
May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.
Why it was recalled
CGMP Deviations: presence of N-Nitroso Atomoxetine Impurity above the FDA recommended 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.
