A Food and Drug Administration inspection at the Little Falls, N.J., facility of Actavis Totowa LLC "revealed operations which did not meet the FDA's or Actavis' standards for good manufacturing practices," according to a company statement issued Friday. The recall, only on the pharmacy and retail level, includes about 65 different prescription drugs, such as pain killers, antidepressants, diet medication and drugs for blood pressure and hypertension.

You mom and I both have diabetes and the loss of limbs or death makes us have faith in our medicine. My heavy use of prednisone to battle a lung problem has made me even use type 1 medicine and my usual type two medicine trying to keep that number down on my meter. Those recalls are our system trying to correct mistakes and if anything should let us know that our system works even if it is a little late. Harv
