Potassium Chloride Extended Release Capsules Recalled for Dissolution Issues

Agency Publication Date: July 18, 2024

Summary

RemedyRepack Inc. is recalling 142 blister cards of Potassium Chloride Micro 10mEq K (750 mg) Extended Release Capsules because they failed dissolution tests. This means the medication, originally manufactured by Glenmark and repackaged by RemedyRepack, may not release into the patient's system at the intended rate. The recall affects 30-count blister cards with expiration dates in early 2025.

Risk

If the capsules do not dissolve correctly, the medication may be released too quickly or too slowly. This can lead to irregular potassium levels in the blood, which may cause heart rhythm problems or other serious medical complications.
