There is not yet an official notice from the FDA, probably due to the holiday.
A complete list of products involved in the recall, with associated lot numbers, can be found at: http://www.ranbaxyusa.com/images/a.pdf
Statement from the Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. website:
"Atorvastatin Recall:
Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. is conducting a voluntary recall for Atorvastatin calcium tablets, in connection with its 10mg 20mg and 40mg dosage strengths, packaged in 90?s and 500 count bottles and only with respect to certain select lot numbers. The recall does not affect or relate to the 80mg strength. The recall is being conducted at the retail level for such select batches that may contain a foreign substance (small glass particles approximately less than 1mm in size). Ranbaxy is proactively recalling the drug product lots out of an abundance of caution, and in keeping the safety of our customers in mind. This recall is being conducted with the full knowledge of the U.S. FDA."
(NOTE: Is there a more suitable place to post this? I tried a search for similar drug recalls and didn't find a particular sub-forum for drug safety/recalls. If there is one, can someone point me to it please? Thanks!)
