Teva Pharmaceuticals USA is recalling approximately 140,993 bottles of Dutasteride and Tamsulosin HCl Capsules (0.5 mg/0.4 mg) because the medication may not dissolve properly. These prescription capsules, which are used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate, were distributed in 30-count and 90-count bottles nationwide and in Puerto Rico. If the medication does not dissolve as intended, it may not be absorbed correctly by the body, potentially reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.
The drug failed dissolution specifications, meaning the active ingredients may not be released into the body at the correct rate or amount. This can lead to a decrease in the drug's therapeutic effect, failing to manage the patient's condition as expected.
