What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall for manufacturing impurity (N-nitroso Cinacalcet) exceeding regulatory limits. While no illnesses have been reported, N-nitroso compounds are regulatory concerns; the Class II designation reflects FDA's determination of potential health risk from the manufacturing defect.

Plain-English summary

Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc. is recalling Cinacalcet 90 mg tablets in 30-count bottles due to a manufacturing issue identified during quality control.

The recall was triggered because certain lots contain N-nitroso Cinacalcet impurity at levels above the FDA's recommended interim limit. The impurity resulted from a Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) deviation during production.
