Summary

Rising Pharma Holding, Inc. is recalling 360,667 bottles of Duloxetine Delayed-Release Capsules USP (the generic form of the medication Cymbalta) in 20 mg, 30 mg, and 60 mg strengths. The recall was initiated because testing found an impurity called N-nitroso-duloxetine at levels higher than the FDA's recommended safety limits, alongside other manufacturing deviations. These capsules were distributed nationwide in various bottle sizes, including 30-count, 60-count, and 1,000-count bottles.
