Statin and other cholesterol-drug recalls are usually manufacturing, potency or impurity failures rather than a problem with the medicine itself. As with every recall, it names specific lots and manufacturers, and cholesterol control matters — do not stop a statin on your own because of a recall; confirm your specific product against the FDA notice and ask your pharmacist for a replacement if needed.

How to use this page

A drug appearing here does not mean your prescription is unsafe. Recalls name specific lots and manufacturers — open the recall to see the affected lot numbers, and match them against your bottle. Never stop a blood-pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, antidepressant or antibiotic medicine on your own because of a recall; confirm your lot, then ask your pharmacist for a replacement if it is affected.

Other categories: Blood pressure medication · Eye drop and ophthalmic · Diabetes medication · Antidepressant · Antibiotic. See also the full recalls tracker and the recall report.

Recalls are matched to this category by the drug names in the FDA’s product description; a small number of category recalls may be missed if the description omits the ingredient. Figures are recall events, not units, and reflect our copy of the FDA data, refreshed daily. This is public regulatory data, not medical advice.
