Cardinal Health is recalling NURTEC ODT (rimegepant) tablets due to intermittent exposure to temperature excursions during storage.

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 typically involves a reasonable probability of temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The hazard is a storage condition deviation (temperature excursion) rather than a direct contamination or structural defect, fitting the Moderate category for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary recalls.
