"Tydemy Birth Control Recalled Over Efficacy Concerns"

Lupin Pharmaceuticals is recalling two batches of the birth control pill Tydemy due to potential reduced effectiveness. The recall is being issued because the pills have decreased levels of ascorbic acid and high levels of a known impurity, which could impact the product's effectiveness and potentially result in unexpected pregnancies. The affected lots were distributed in the U.S. from June 2022 to May 2023, and patients are advised to contact their healthcare provider for advice on alternative treatments.
