Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
CGMP Deviations: Presence of Nitrosamine Drug Substance Related Impurity (NDSRI), N-Nitroso Nebivolol above acceptable intake (AI) limit.
Cause type: Nitrosamine impurity
Trace nitrosamine impurities such as NDMA, NDEA or NMBA found above the acceptable daily limit. Nitrosamines are probable human carcinogens that can form during manufacturing or storage.
