Cinacalcet Hydrochloride Tablets recall
FDA recall D-0450-2026 · initiated Mar 16, 2026
Cipla USA, Inc. recalled Cinacalcet Hydrochloride Tablets in Mar 2026 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0450-2026) because CGMP Deviations; presence N-Nitroso Cinacalcet above the acceptable daily intake limit.
May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.
Why it was recalled
CGMP Deviations; presence N-Nitroso Cinacalcet above the acceptable daily intake 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.
