The US regulator detailed that the affected lot was recalled after reports of less fill volume in respules and the presence of a few drops of liquid in the intact pouch.

Simultaneously, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, USA, the US-based arm of Glenmark, announced the recall of 3,264 Diltiazem Hydrochloride extended-release capsules bottles.

The medication, intended for high blood pressure treatment, was recalled due to “failed dissolution specifications”.

In a related event last month, Glenmark’s US unit recalled 6,528 bottles of Diltiazem Hydrochloride extended-release capsules.

This Class II recall was due to the medication not meeting dissolution specifications, with “Out of Specification (OOS) results in a dissolution test at the 12-month time point during a long-term stability study.”

The affected lot was also produced in India.
