New Delhi: Dr Reddy’s Laboratories is recalling 2,980 bottles of Atorvastatin Calcium tablets in the US due to quality issues. Atorvastatin is indicated to lower cholesterol in the blood for adults and children over ten years of age.

The drug is also prescribed to lower the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and other risk factors such as eye problems, kidney diseases, or high blood pressure.

As per the US Food and Drug Administration’s latest Enforcement report, the Hyderabad-based drug major is voluntarily recalling the affected lots of the drug in 10 mg strength due to “failed impurities degradation specifications”.

The 500-count 2,980 bottles have been produced at Dr Reddy’s Bachupally (Telangana) plant and later shipped to its US arm which is now in the process of recalling the lot. The New Jersey-based Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc initiated the nationwide recall on May 4 and the USFDA has categorised it as a Class III recall which is initiated in a “situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences”.

In march this year, USFDA had stated that Dr Reddy’s is recalling 10,440 (90-count) and 2,24,710 (500 count) bottles of Atorvastatin Calcium tablets in the US market. The US-based unit of the drug major initiated the nationwide recall on February 19, 2021, and the USFDA has categorised it as Class III recall.
