Summary

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Inc is recalling 110,743 bottles of Tadalafil Tablets (tadalafil) sold under the Northstar Rx LLC label in 5 mg and 20 mg strengths. The recall was initiated because an incorrect grade of an inactive ingredient, Crospovidone, was used during manufacturing. No injuries or adverse events have been reported to date, but consumers should consult their healthcare provider if they have concerns about the medication's effectiveness or safety. The affected products were distributed nationwide to one distributor and were manufactured in both India and the United States.

Risk

The use of an incorrect grade of an inactive ingredient can lead to an incorrect product formulation, which may affect how the medication dissolves or is absorbed by the body. This could potentially impact the efficacy of the drug in treating conditions like erectile dysfunction or symptoms of an enlarged prostate.
