The affected product, which was distributed to wholesalers, suppliers and retailers, is being recalled after the drug didn’t meet specifications or acceptance criteria for dissolution, the company said.

 “Product efficacy may be decreased due to incomplete absorption of the active ingredients,” the recall notice reads.

The affected lot number is 183222, with an expiration date of November 2020.
