Diabetes medication recalls

76 FDA-recorded recalls of diabetes medications, most recent Aug 2026 — newest first, straight from the FDA's own database.

Several extended-release metformin products were recalled for nitrosamine (NDMA) impurities — the same class of contaminant behind the blood-pressure recalls. Others are ordinary manufacturing or potency issues. Blood-sugar control matters: do not stop a diabetes medicine because of a recall without checking your specific lot against the FDA notice and speaking with your prescriber.

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 · Cholesterol medication · Antidepressant · Antibiotic · Thyroid medication · Allergy and antihistamine · Hormonal and contraceptive · ADHD and stimulant medication · Opioid and pain medication · Seizure and epilepsy medication · Asthma and inhaler · Heartburn and acid-reflux medication.

Source: the openFDA drug Enforcement (recall) database. 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.
