The recall has been classified by the FDA as Class II, meaning that use of or exposure to the drug may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
The drug is distributed by Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd., 1150 Elijah McCoy Drive, Detroit, MI 48202 and manufactured at Sun Pharmaceutical Ind. Ltd., Halol-Baroda Highway, Halol-389 350, Gujarat, India.
