Failed Dissolution Specifications
Wrong strength, or it did not keep
The product did not contain what the label promised, or stopped meeting specification before its expiry date. Under-strength medicine can mean an untreated condition.
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.
