Duloxetine Delayed-Release Capsules recall
FDA recall D-0568-2024 · initiated May 13, 2024
Golden State Medical Supply Inc. recalled Duloxetine Delayed-Release Capsules in May 2024 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0568-2024) because CGMP Deviations: Presence of Nitrosamine Drug Substance Related Impurity (NDSRI), N-nitroso-duloxetine, above the proposed interim limit.
May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.
Why it was recalled
CGMP Deviations: Presence of Nitrosamine Drug Substance Related Impurity (NDSRI), N-nitroso-duloxetine, above the proposed 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.
