- Xanax, a medication used to treat anxiety disorders, has been recalled nationwide by its manufacturer, Viatris.
- The recall is due to "failed dissolution specifications," meaning the pills may not break down correctly in the body, potentially reducing their effectiveness.
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified this as a Class II recall, indicating that affected pills could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
- Viatris did not issue a press release but sent notification letters regarding the recall.
- Separately, 15 cough drop products from China-based Xiamen Kang Zhongyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. were also recalled nationwide following FDA concerns about product quality during a manufacturing facility inspection.
