Actavis Totowa Announces Huge Drug Recall
The current list of Actavis Totowa Drugs:
Actavis Totowa, LLC, an American-based drug manufacturing and distributing company, recently announced a step that’s as drastic as any within the industry short of closing its doors. The company has initiated a recall of 65 different generic medications, and the reasons are somewhat speculative at this point.
What is not speculative is that the FDA has been involved with this issue on more than one occasion, and their involvement includes inspections of the manufacturing facility that was found to not meet minimum standards and warnings that dictated what Actavis Totowa needed to do in order to come back into compliance.

Potential Problems with Actavis Totowa
