The FDA listed the reason for the recall as “failed dissolution specification,” meaning the pill did not dissolve as well as it should have during testing.

The agency classified the action as a Class II recall, meaning that using the affected drug “may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences” but the possibility of serious health consequences is considered remote.
Macleods Pharma USA started the recall on October 7, and the FDA classified it on October 26. The recall remains and affects the products distributed nationwide.
The recall comes weeks after another blood pressure drug was pulled from shelves due to similar problems.
