November 15, 2019

Updated: 11/13/19

On November 8, 2019, Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC issued a voluntary recall of all of its ranitidine medications due to an elevated amount of an unexpected impurity (NDMA) found in the active pharmaceutical ingredient.

Express Scripts will mail letters to patients who have received medication impacted by the recall.

The manufacturer recommends that consumers who have recalled Ranitidine tablets and Ranitidine Syrup (Ranitidine Oral Solution) from Amneal Pharmaceuticals should stop using the product and call Stericycle at 866-918-8768, Monday – Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, EST for further information. Patients taking prescription ranitidine who wish to discontinue use should talk to their prescriber about other treatment options. People taking OTC ranitidine may consider using other OTC products approved for their condition.
