Yet Another Blood Pressure Medication Recall....

It’s like déjà vu all over again. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just announced yet another blood pressure medication recall due to unacceptably high levels of an impurity. This time it’s Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. that’s issued a voluntary recall. They’re recalling all batches of their irbesartan tablets as well as their irbesartan plus hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) tablets.

Thank you for letting us know!

It's sad how many of these antihypertensives have been affected by carcinogens. Is it a single country at fault, I wonder?
