The distributor informed its supplied customers that during stability tests after a storage period of more than two years the specifications of the product could not be met. An impurity - "Desloratadine Citric Amide" - was detected. As the batches on the market have not yet reached a shelf life of two years, but have a total shelf life of three years, a precautionary recall is being carried out.
