The Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (Aemps) has warned about the withdrawal of several batches of the drug Duloxetine Sandoz, which is used to treat anxiety and depression. They have made the decision after detecting "an impurity above its established limit".

The affected batches are R77, R975, S0024 and S0595 of Duloxetine Sandox 30 mg; lots R1214, R76 and S0482, 60mg; and R1073, R133 and S0199, 60 mg but in 56 capsule versions.
