Dr. Reddy's Laboratories is recalling 569,376 bottles of Famotidine tablets (10 mg), an over-the-counter acid controller sold under the CVS Pharmacy and Equate brands. The recall was initiated because routine stability testing found that a specific impurity (Impurity 8) exceeded safety specifications after 24 months. These products were distributed nationwide in 30-count bottles. Consumers who have these products should stop using them and contact a healthcare professional.
The product failed stability testing for an individual related substance, which means the medication may contain levels of degradation impurities that exceed the approved safety limits over time.
