Amnesteem isotretinoin capsules recalled for failed dissolution

Mylan Pharmaceuticals is recalling specific lots of Amnesteem (isotretinoin) 40 mg capsules because they failed to meet dissolution specifications—meaning the medication may not break down and be absorbed by your body as intended. This could affect how well the medicine works. The recall affects two lots (3116110 and 3116130) with an expiration date of July 2026.
