Zydus Recalls Pramipexole Dihydrochloride Tablets Due to Cross Contamination

Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA Inc is recalling Pramipexole Dihydrochloride Tablets 0.25 mg due to cross contamination caused by a cleaning failure.

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 is typically associated with a temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequence. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a manufacturing deviation (cross-contamination) rather than a known high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
