Antidepressant recalled over potential cancer-causing substance

🔥

FYI....

NEW YORK (WPIX) – A popular antidepressant is being recalled because it may contain elevated levels of a cancer-causing substance, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Thousands of bottles of Duloxetine (Cymbalta) delayed-release capsules are being voluntarily recalled by Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc. The pills are commonly used to treat depression, anxiety, and fibromyalgia, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Recall alerts say the impacted medication may contain more than the recommended limit of N-nitroso-duloxetine, which belongs to a class of compounds classified as probable carcinogens for humans.
