The USFDA defines Class II recalls as situations where the use of a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, with a remote probability of serious harm. Atomoxetine is commonly prescribed for ADHD, a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects focus, impulse control, and activity levels. The impurity found in the recalled batches may raise safety concerns, leading to tighter regulatory scrutiny on Glenmark's quality control processes.
