Diabetes drug metformin recalled due to high levels of cancer-causing agent

Metformin

The drug’s manufacturer, Marksans Pharma Limited, has expanded a recall initially announced in June to now include an additional 76 unexpired lots of the medication.

The recalled drugs are marketed as “extended-release tablets” under the brand name Time-Cap Labs, Inc.

The recalled product contained an unacceptably high level of N-Nitrosodimethylamine, which is considered a probable human carcinogen.
