Recall of Blood Pressure Medication
Over 580,000 bottles of blood pressure medication have been recalled by the FDA due to elevated levels of a potential carcinogenic impurity.
The affected medication is prazosin hydrochloride, manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals, with recalled lots including 1mg, 2mg, and 5mg capsules.
According to the FDA Enforcement Report, the recall is due to the presence of a byproduct of the manufacturing process that has the potential to cause cancer.
No one wants to trade high blood pressure for a potentially cancer-causing chemical.
It is essential to consult a physician before stopping any medication, even if the bottles are affected by the recall.
The recalled bottles can be identified by their lot number and expiration date, as outlined in the FDA report.
