New Delhi, June 12, 2015: Drug firm Sandoz Inc is recalling India-made 1,023,430 units of anti-allergic Cetirizine HCl chewable tablets in the US due to impurity concerns.
According to information on the USFDA site, the recall is for Cetirizine HCl chewable tablets of 10 mg, 6-tablets in one blister, in 12 (2 blisters) and 24 (4 blisters) tablet count configurations.
The tablets were manufactured by Sandoz Private Ltd in Navi Mumbai.
