Metoprolol Tartrate Tablets recall
FDA recall D-0581-2025 · initiated Aug 6, 2025
Westminster Pharmaceuticals LLC recalled Metoprolol Tartrate Tablets in Aug 2025 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0581-2025) because CGMP Deviations: Presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-metoprolol above the established Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) level.
May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.
Why it was recalled
CGMP Deviations: Presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-metoprolol above the established Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) level.
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.
