[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2289871, member: 196898"] Note that in this case two manufacturers were affected, and all pills were the XR or SR extended release. This points to a contaminant creeping into the base material or the enteric coating used. Now patent rights limits what can be used as filler or delay mechanism, and all manufacturers alter these base components to get round paying royalties. Some use different cellulose bases, some use different talcs, some use different whiteners and bleaches in the mix and some are now using varnishes instead , so other pill makes will probably not be affected by this contamination.
