Teva Recalls 580,844 Bottles of Prazosin Over Nitrosamine Contamination

Regulators deemed the Teva action a Class II recall following tests showing nitrosamine levels above CPCA limits.

Overview

  • The voluntary recall covers prazosin hydrochloride capsules distributed nationwide after detection of N‑nitroso Prazosin impurity C above acceptable intake thresholds.
  • The FDA classified the event as a Class II recall on Oct. 24, indicating a risk of temporary or medically reversible effects with a remote chance of serious harm.
  • Impacted products include 1 mg, 2 mg, and 5 mg strengths in 100‑ to 1,000‑count bottles, with expiration dates spanning October 2025 through February 2027.
  • Specific lot numbers have been published by the FDA, and pharmacies and distributors have been directed to remove and return affected lots.
  • Patients are urged to check lot codes and consult pharmacists or prescribers for safe replacement rather than stopping therapy, and Teva reports no related complaints to date.
