Dofetilide Capsules Recalled for Failed Content Uniformity Specifications

Sun Pharmaceutical is recalling 1,920 bottles of Dofetilide Capsules (500 mcg) nationwide due to failed content uniformity specifications, meaning the capsules do not contain uniform amounts of active ingredient.

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: FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. Content uniformity failure represents a manufacturing defect, but the Class III designation and absence of reported harm indicate moderate rather than high severity per the rubric.
