Is this because of a defective batch or are they trying to get rid of this drug entirely? If it's a recall only of certain batches, fine.

If the latter, my hackles just got raised because not long ago, there was news about possible off-label uses (just like HCQ re other uses besides nati-malaria) and that it could one day be the next "wonder drug."
