It was an impurity that could cause cancer and not the duloxetine itself. It could be that the cost to remove the impurity isn't worth it to them, but that's just a SWAG. Or a supplier might refuse to upgrade an intermediate. Or they reject too many batches of intermediates.

Does this mean that people who’ve taken it have been exposed to this impurity the whole time? I’ve been taking this medication for almost 18 years. To know that it can cause cancer on top of discontinuing it is a double whammy if that’s the case. I did read about this, but I thought it was one of the generic medication’s that it was affecting not the entire brand name and all generics. I wonder if this means that they’ll be discontinuing this medication altogether? If anybody has any more info, please relay, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.
