Nystatin Oral Suspension Recalled Due to CGMP Violation

PAI Holdings is recalling Nystatin Oral Suspension nationwide due to a lack of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) controls that could allow carryover of Senna Syrup into the product.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a manufacturing control deficiency (potential carryover) that poses a theoretical risk; the source does not describe actual harm or hospitalization reports. This falls under the Moderate category for precautionary recalls with manufacturing or labeling deficiencies.
