Jubilant Cadista Recalls Itraconazole Capsules Due to Dissolution Failures

Jubilant Cadista Pharmaceuticals is recalling specific lots of Itraconazole Capsules, 100 mg, because they failed to meet dissolution specifications.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which indicates a situation where use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a quality failure (dissolution) rather than a direct physical danger like fire or choking.

Plain-English summary

Jubilant Cadista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is recalling Itraconazole Capsules, 100 mg, 30-count bottles. The recall involves specific lots identified as IT119008B, IT120001A, and IT120002B. The product is a prescription-only medication manufactured by Jubilant Generics Ltd. in India and marketed by Jubilant Cadista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in Salisbury, MD.

The recall was initiated because the affected lots failed to meet dissolution specifications.

Failure to meet these specifications may result in the medication not working as intended.

The affected products were distributed nationwide in the USA. Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for the specific lot numbers and expiration dates listed in the recall notice.
