Class II · Moderate risk Terminated Initiated Nov 2, 2012 (14 years ago)

ABILIFY (aripiprazole)

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

CGMP Deviations: A drum of Abilify 30 mg Tablets rejected during the compression stage was not segregated from the other portion of the lot and was inadvertently shipped, packaged and distributed.

Cause type: cGMP deviation

Departures from current Good Manufacturing Practice found in production or during FDA inspection. A broad quality-system cause: the batch was made under conditions that fall short of FDA manufacturing standards. All cgmp deviation 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.
