Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
Marketed Without An Approved NDA/ANDA: Captomer and Captomer-250 are marketed as dietary supplements and labeled to be sourced from Dimercaptosuccinic Acid (DMSA) which is the active ingredient in an FDA approved drug making these products unapproved new drugs.
Cause type: Unapproved drug
The product was marketed without an approved NDA/ANDA, or does not meet the OTC monograph it claims to follow. Nothing about the product - dose, purity, safety - has been reviewed by FDA, so the claims on the box are unverified. All unapproved drug recalls.

Check, then ask. Class II means harm is possible but usually temporary or reversible. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches, ask your pharmacist about a replacement. Do not simply stop a prescribed medication on your own - the gap can be riskier than the recall. This recall is now terminated, which means the firm has finished removing the affected product; anything on pharmacy shelves today should be unaffected.
