Apotex Corp. recalled Desmopressin Nasal Spray in Apr 2026 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0510-2026) because Defective container: defect in a batch of bottle caps, specifically involving dislodged or missing cap liners.

May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.

Why it was recalled

Defective container: defect in a batch of bottle caps, specifically involving dislodged or missing cap liners.

Labelling, packaging or a product mix-up

The wrong information — or the wrong medicine — ended up in the pack. A mix-up is a manufacturing failure that can still be dangerous to swallow.

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.
