If you take cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins, you may have noticed a flurry of news coverage since late October about an extensive recall of thousands of bottles of atorvastatin, the generic version of Lipitor.
Atorvastatin, manufactured by Alkem Laboratories in India and distributed by Ascend Laboratories, was recently subject to a US FDA recall due to some batches failing dissolution tests (i.e., not releasing the drug correctly).
