05/23/2022 Anagrelide by Teva- Member

Teva Pharmaceuticals USA has posted a lot recall of Anagrelide Capsules.

About this recall:
Teva Pharmaceuticals USA has initiated a voluntary nationwide recall of a single lot of Anagrelide Capsules, USP 0.5 mg (NDC 0172-5241-60), to the consumer level in the United States. This voluntary recall was initiated due to failure of the product to dissolve during routine stability testing. No other lots are impacted.

For lot recalls, the lot/batch information and expiration date for the recalled product can be viewed by clicking on the link to the FDA
Recall Notification found below.

Anagrelide capsules are indicated for the treatment of patients with high platelet counts, secondary to certain cancers, to reduce the elevated platelet count and the risk of blood clots and to prevent associated symptoms including clotting/bleeding events.

What this means to you:
If the drug does not dissolve it can lead to less anagrelide available in the body. For seriously ill patients with elevated platelet counts, less available anagrelide in the body could increase the risk of clotting (blood coagulation) and bleeding events such as a heart attack or stroke, which could be life-threatening. To date, Teva has not received any product quality complaints or adverse event reports for the recalled lot.

According to the manufacturer, as a patient, your first course of action should be to consult with your pharmacist, healthcare provider, or physician who can advise you about an alternative treatment prior to discontinuation of the medication.

The risks from stopping the medication may be higher than the potential risk of continuing anagrelide treatment for a short period of time. Once your pharmacist, healthcare provider, or physician has provided an alternate medication to treat the condition, the manufacturer requests that you return any remaining product in your possession. Please contact Teva’s product recall processor to obtain instructions and a kit for returning your medication: Inmar (866-431-5972 – Dedicated Phone Line) or email Inmar at rxrecalls@inmar.com.

Inmar will provide the materials that you will need to return your medication, which will include a pre-paid mailer and instructions for your reimbursement.

05/23/2022 Anagrelide by Teva- Provider

Teva Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of One Lot of Anagrelide Capsules, USP 0.5 mg Due to Dissolution Test Failure


FDA Publish Date: 05/23/2022

Teva Pharmaceuticals USA has initiated a voluntary nationwide recall of a single lot of Anagrelide Capsules, USP 0.5 mg (Lot number GD01090), to the consumer level in the United States. This voluntary recall was initiated due to a dissolution test failure detected during routine stability testing. No other lots are impacted.

Administration of this product with lower dissolution – taking longer to dissolve once ingested — may result in decreased effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the drug to exert its platelet-reducing effect. Failed dissolution can result in a slower rate and extent of drug release leading to less anagrelide available in the body. For seriously ill patients with elevated platelet counts, less available anagrelide in the body could increase the risk of clotting (blood coagulation), and clotting or bleeding events such as a heart attack or stroke, which could be life-threatening. To date, Teva has not received any product quality complaints or adverse event reports, of this nature, for the recalled lot.

Anagrelide capsules are indicated for the treatment of patients with thrombocythemia, secondary to myeloproliferative neoplasms, to reduce the elevated platelet count and the risk of thrombosis and to ameliorate
associated symptoms including thrombo-hemorrhagic events. Information about the affected lot is listed in the table below. It is packed in bottles with 100 capsules. Teva distributed 4,224 bottles nationwide from 07-30-2020 through 09-02-2020 to its wholesale, distributor, and retail customers under the label for Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.

Teva notified its customers on May 11, 2022, alerting them that the lot was recalled and requesting that they return impacted product. Instructions for returning recalled product and receiving a credit are given in the customer recall letter (Anagrelide Recall 05 2022 Direct Accounts Letter Consumer Level 20 MAY 2022.pdf) and consumer recall letter (Anagrelide Recall 05 2022 _Patient Letter 20 MAY 2022.pdf) released by Teva.

Pfizer has posted a lot recall of Accupril® (quinapril hydrochloride [HCl]).

About this recall:
Pfizer is voluntarily recalling five (5) lots of Accupril (quinapril HCl) tablets distributed by Pfizer to the patient
(consumer/user) level due to the presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-quinapril, observed in recent testing above
the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) level.

Accupril is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Accupril is also indicated in the
management of heart failure as adjunctive therapy when added to conventional therapy including diuretics and/or digoxin. To date, Pfizer is not aware of reports of adverse events that have been assessed to be related to this recall.

What this means to you:
Nitrosamines are common in water and foods, including cured and grilled meats, dairy products, and vegetables.
Everyone is exposed to some level of nitrosamines. These impurities may increase the risk of cancer if people are
exposed to them above acceptable levels over long periods of time. Although long-term ingestion of N nitroso quinapril may be associated with a potential increased cancer risk in humans, there is no immediate risk to
patients taking this medication. Patients currently taking the products should consult with their doctor or healthcare provider about alternative treatment options for them.

Pfizer’s Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Accuretic™ (Quinapril HCl/
Hydrochlorothiazide [HCTZ]) and Quinapril HCl/HCTZ Tablets Due to N-NitrosoQuinapril Content

About this recall:

Pfizer is voluntarily recalling Accuretic (quinapril HCl/hydrochlorothiazide) tablets distributed by Pfizer as well as authorized generics distributed by Greenstone (quinapril HCl/HCTZ tablets) to the patient (consumer/user) level due to the presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-quinapril, above the acceptable daily intake level. Pfizer has recalled six lots of Accuretic tablets and five lots of quinapril HCl/HCTZ tablets.

What this means to you:

Nitrosamines are common in water and foods, including cured and grilled meats, dairy products, and vegetables. Everyone is exposed to some level of nitrosamines. These impurities may increase the risk of cancer if people
are exposed to them above acceptable levels over long periods of time.

Accuretic and quinapril HCl/HCTZ are indicated for the treatment of high blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and heart attacks. To date, Pfizer is not aware of reports of adverse events that have been assessed to be related to this recall.

Sandoz Issues Nationwide Recall of 13 Lots of Orphenadrine Citrate 100 mg Extended-Release Tablets Due to the Presence of a Nitrosamine Impurity.


FDA Publish Date: 03/22/2022

Sandoz Inc. (“Sandoz”) is initiating a voluntary recall of 13 lots (listed below) of oral Orphenadrine Citrate 100 mg Extended Release (ER) Tablets to the consumer level. The presence of a nitrosamine (N-methyl-N-nitroso-2-[(2- methylphenyl)phenylmethoxy]ethanamine (NMOA or Nitroso-Orphenadrine)) impurity, which has the potential to be above the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) limit of 26.5 ng/day, was
detected in the lots during recent testing. These 13 lots of Orphenadrine Citrate ER Tablets were shipped to customers from August 2019 to April 2021.

Nitrosamines are substances with carcinogenic potential (substances that could cause cancer) when present above the allowable exposure limits. While the use of product belonging to the recalled lots may represent a risk to patients, to date, Sandoz has not received any reports of adverse events related to the presence of a nitrosamine impurity in the lot.

Orphenadrine Citrate ER Tablets are used as an adjunct to rest, physical therapy and other measures for the relief of discomfort associated with acute painful musculoskeletal conditions. The product is packaged in 100-count and
1000-count bottles and was distributed nationwide in the USA to wholesalers and distributors.

This recall of Orphenadrine Citrate ER Tablets is specific to the lots listed below and does not apply to any other strengths of Sandoz Orphenadrine Citrate ER Tablets nor to other lot numbers of the product. Any product returned that is not associated with this recall will be destroyed, and no credit will be issued.

Sandoz is notifying its wholesalers and distributors by mail and is arranging for the return of all recalled product. Wholesalers and distributors that have Orphenadrine Citrate ER Tablets subject to this recall should immediately
stop distribution of the recalled product and quarantine and return all recalled product in their inventory.

Consumers who have Orphenadrine Citrate ER Tablets being recalled should stop taking the recalled product and immediately consult with their physician to obtain another prescription. Consumers should contact their physician
or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this drug product.
