Tolterodine Tartrate Extended-Release Capsules Recalled for Failed Dissolution

Tolterodine Tartrate Extended-Release Capsules, 2 mg (Lot T05393) are being recalled because they failed dissolution specifications. The capsules may not dissolve as intended.

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 III recall of a prescription medication with no reported illnesses, injuries, or deaths. While a dissolution failure poses a theoretical risk of reduced drug efficacy, the defect was discovered during routine testing before any patient harm occurred.
