Annora Pharma Private Limited has voluntarily recalled 770 bottles of Pitavastatin (2 mg), a cholesterol-lowering medication. The recall was initiated because a single 1 mg tablet of the same medication was found inside a bottle labeled as 2 mg. This packaging error means a consumer could unknowingly take the wrong dose of their prescription medication.
If a patient takes the incorrect 1 mg dose instead of the prescribed 2 mg dose, they may receive less medication than intended, which could affect the management of their cholesterol levels. No injuries or adverse events have been reported to date.
