Why it was recalled
CGMP Deviations: Presence of N-nitroso-duloxetine 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.
