Hyderabad, Princeton: Dr Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. has announced that it is voluntarily recalling six (6) lots of Sapropterin Dihydrochloride Powder for Oral Solution 100 mg to the consumer level due to powder discoloration in some packets leading to decreased potency. The issue was discovered during an accelerated stability test in addition to customer complaints.

Reduced efficacy of the product would result in elevated Phenylalaninemia (Phe) levels in patients. Chronically elevated Phe levels in infants and children are likely to cause permanent neurocognitive deficits, including permanent and irreversible intellectual disability, developmental delay, and seizures. Furthermore, elevated Phe levels during pregnancy, especially in early gestation, are associated with microcephaly and congenital heart disease.
