Out of total, 166 bottles of captopril tablets of 50 mg strength has been recalled along with 50 bottles of clarithromycin tablets of 500 mg strength.

Both the recalls are classified as Class II, a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.  Blenheim Pharmacal, the packaging company, is the recalling firm while the drugs were distributed by Wockhardt USA LLC, the US subsidiary of the company.

Wockhardt is one of the few companies with end to end integrated capabilities for its products, starting with the manufacture of the oral and sterile API’s, the dose forms and marketing through wholly owned subsidiary in the US, enabling the company to capture maximum value.
