LGM Pharma LLC is recalling Cidofovir Dihydrate because the API manufacturer is on FDA Import Alert for CGMP deviations.

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 indicates a temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequence. The source text does not report any specific illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is related to manufacturing compliance (CGMP deviations) rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
