A Class III recall is issued when the use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences, according to the USFDA.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration, Aurobindo Pharma is recalling 9,890 bottles of Rasagiline Tablets, a drug used to treat Parkinson’s disease, from the United States.

“New Jersey-based Aurobindo Pharma USA Inc, a unit of the Hyderabad-based drug major, is recalling the affected lot due to Failed dissolution specifications”, the USFDA continued.

On August 2, this year, the business began the Class II recall in the United States.
