 The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a voluntary recall of thousands of bottles of delayed-release duloxetine, an antidepressant medication. The affected products contain nitrosamines, which are potentially harmful in high doses over long periods. Although small amounts of nitrosamines can be found naturally in food and water, excessive exposure may increase the risk of cancer. Patients taking recalled medication should contact their doctor before stopping treatment.
