Over 140,000 bottles of cholesterol medication recalled. See affected products. (Atorvastatin Calcium)

[question everything]

Over 140,000 bottles of a prescription statin have been recalled due to "failed dissolution specifications," according to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) enforcement report.

Ascend Laboratories of New Jersey pulled Atorvastatin Calcium, a drug sold as a generic version of Lipitor, that were manufactured by Alkem Laboratories of India and distributed nationwide. The recall, issued on Sept. 19, covers tablets packaged in 90-count, 500-count and 1,000-count bottles with expiration dates as late as February 2027.

On Oct. 10, the FDA classified the recalled prescription medication as a Class II recall. The risk classification from the federal agency indicates that the recalled medications could cause "temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," but that the chances of serious adverse health consequences are "remote."
