AirDuo Digihaler 232/14 Inhalation Powder Subpotent Recall

Teva Pharmaceuticals is recalling AirDuo Digihaler 232/14 inhalation powder because some units do not deliver the correct amount of salmeterol as labeled.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a subpotent drug with out-of-specification results. No illnesses or hospitalizations are reported in the source text, making this a moderate-severity recall consistent with Class II classification without reported patient harm.
