Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Cipla USA, Inc. is voluntarily recalling 435 cartons of Nilotinib capsules (150 mg and 200 mg) because they failed quality specifications during long-term stability testing. Specifically, the capsules did not meet the required standards for visual appearance and description during a 6-month check. This recall affects various lot numbers with expiration dates in April 2027 that were distributed nationwide in the United States.

Risk

While this is a low-risk recall, the product failed stability tests which means the physical appearance or chemical integrity of the capsules may change over time, potentially impacting the consistency of the medication.
