Bengaluru, June 29
India's pharma major Dr Reddy's Laboratories Ltd has voluntarily recalled from the US market two medicines including one used to treat seizures like epilepsy on the advice of the regulator, an official statement said.

According to a notification by the US Food and Drug Administration, the firm has started recalling divalproex sodium tablets, as it has failed dissolution tests, and amlodipine besylate and atorvastatin calcium tablets as they are close to expiry time.

The first is used to treat certain types of seizures, while the other two are used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain.

The tablets were made at the company's facility at Bachupally in Hyderabad.
