Dr Reddy’s calls back simvastatin fresh lots from US

Dr Reddy's is recalling 60,000 bottles of 10mg and 40mg of simvastatin from the US due to complaints from consumers who found the tablets smelled musty or moldy.

Simvastatin is used together with diet and exercise to reduce the amount of ‘bad cholesterol’ (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol or LDL-C) in the blood.

The US Food and Drug Administration stated that the Indian drug maker’s investigation pointed to the presence of the same contaminants that were found last year due to which the company had to recall 25,896 bottles of the drug, the Business Standard reported.
