Prescription Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate Capsules Recalled Due to Failed Dissolution Specifications

Sun Pharmaceutical is recalling specific lots of Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate capsules nationwide because dissolution test results fell outside specifications during stability testing.

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 with no reported illnesses or injuries. The recall addresses a quality/dissolution specification failure detected during routine stability testing, which constitutes a voluntary precautionary measure rather than a response to confirmed harm.
