Originally I had Generic Lipitor in the subject line which I removed. Another article had it as a version of Lipitor.
There’s no mention of if anyone using this would be notified by their pharmacy.
“ Drug used by nearly half of seniors under massive recall”
Urgent recall affects medication used by millions of Americans
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) updated a Class II recall notice for several versions of generic Atorvastatin Calcium tablets with expiration dates through February 2027 after discovering the pills failed to meet dissolution specifications — meaning they may not dissolve as expected and thus may not be properly absorbed.
The recall was initiated on September 19, 2025, and updated on October 14, 2025.
The recall affects 141,984 bottles nationwide of the generic statin medications.
The recall covers multiple lots with expiration dates ranging from July 2026 to February 2027, the FDA said.
Affected Atorvastatin Calcium lot numbers include:
25141249
24144938
24144868
24144458
24143994
24142987
24143316
A complete list of lot numbers is listed here.
