According to information available on the USFDA website, Glenmark Generics Inc, the US-based unit of the company, is recalling 2,904 bottles due to the presence of a foreign material in one of the bottles.
"Recall is due to a pharmacist complaint of a foreign material, identified as Metoprolol Tartrate Tablet USP 50 mg, found co-mingled in a bottle of Ranitidine Tablets USP 150 mg," USFDA said.
The 150-mg tablets in 500-count bottles, were manufactured by Shasun Pharmaceuticals for Glenmark Generics Inc, it added.
It has been classified as a 'Class-II recall' which FDA defined as "a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote".
When contacted, a Glenmark spokesperson said: "We have voluntarily recalled 2,904 bottles of Ranitidine Tablets, 150 mg from one lot of material. The product was manufactured at our partner's manufacturing site. Corrective actions have been implemented and the recall is limited to only one lot of material."
