Plain-English summary

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Inc is recalling 5,448 bottles of Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate 60mg capsules (Lot AD42648, expiring 02/28/2026) due to failed dissolution specifications. The issue was identified during long-term stability testing conducted at 25°C and 60% relative humidity at the 9-month testing point.

Dissolution specifications are critical quality measures that ensure a medication releases its active ingredient at the proper rate for absorption by the body. When a medication fails dissolution testing, the active ingredient may not be absorbed as intended, potentially affecting its effectiveness.

The recalled bottles were distributed to 17 wholesale distributors, who may have further distributed the product nationwide.
