Jubilant Cadista Pharmaceuticals is expanding an earlier recall to include 12,960 bottles of Pantoprazole Sodium Delayed-Release Tablets (40 mg). This prescription medication, commonly used to treat acid reflux, is being recalled because dark brown discoloration was found on the edges of the tablets. Consumers should check their prescription bottles for the specific lot number PA217060A with an expiration date of May 2020.
The presence of dark brown discoloration on the edges of the tablets indicates a quality defect that may affect the purity or integrity of the medication. While no specific injuries have been reported, using discolored medication could lead to reduced effectiveness or unexpected side effects.
