The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Thursday confirmed the recall of tens of
thousands of bottles of a medication prescribed to treat high cholesterol.
In an
enforcement report, the
agency said that 57,504 bottles of 2-milligram pitavastatin tablets were
voluntarily recalled by the manufacturer due to “failed impurities” or
“degradation specifications,” which are terms used in the pharmaceutical
industry to indicate that a drug or substance doesn’t meet the required quality
standards.
Each
bottle of the drug contains 90
tablets. The manufacturer is Taiwan-based Orient Pharma Co., Ltd., for New Jersey-based Teva
Pharmaceuticals, according to the FDA.
The
recall was initiated by the company last month but the FDA on Thursday only
issued its classification of the recall as Class III, the least severe type of
recall under FDA guidelines. It means that
a product violates agency regulations but is unlikely to cause serious adverse
health consequences.
It’s
not clear from the FDA report whether any adverse effects were reported in
association with the recall. More details about why the recall was initiated
were not provided in the report.
Pitavastatin
is in the statin family, which is
associated with brand names such as Livalo and Zypitama. Statins are a class of
prescription drugs primarily used to lower cholesterol, associated with a
reduction in the risk of heart attack or stroke.
The
Cleveland Clinic says pitavastatin “helps you lower the amount of ‘bad’
cholesterol” known as LDL, or low-density lipoprotein, in a person’s blood. The
drug “interferes with your liver’s process of making cholesterol, which makes
it produce less of it,” the clinic says.
The
drug is also used increase the body’s amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
cholesterol in adults, says a description on
the federal MedicinePlus website
According
to the National Institutes of Health, approximately 92
million Americans were taking a type of statin drug between 2018 and
2019, it said, compared to 37 million who were taking them in 2012 and
2013.
Earlier
this year, in separate incidents, two other types of drugs used to treat high
cholesterol were recalled, according to FDA enforcement reports.
In
March, 2,184 bottles of Atorvastatin Calcium Tablets by drug company Biocon
Pharma Inc. were recalled for “failed dissolution specifications,” said the
FDA. In April, the FDA updated a recall of 5,328 bottles of Livalo, which is
the brand name for pitavastatin due to the “presence of foreign
tablets/capsules,” the agency noted said.
The
recall comes after another company, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Inc., voluntarily
recalled dozens of types of generic medications after FDA regulators found
problems in how the medications were being manufactured at one of its
India-based facilities, said an FDA enforcement report in
April.
