More than 64,000 bottles of 10-mg generic atorvastatin tablets have been recalled, according to a notice on the Food and Drug Administration website.
The nationwide recall applies to 64,626 bottles that contain 90 tablets, and are manufactured by Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals. The discovery of a 20-mg atorvastatin tablet in a sealed 90-count bottle of atorvastatin 10-mg tablets was the basis of the recall.
The recall is voluntary and was initiated by Ranbaxy in January 2014.
The affected bottles are pharmacy dispensing bottles, a Ranbaxy spokesperson said.
Lipitor is the brand-name version of atorvastatin.
