Blood pressure medication recalled

BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE RECALLED

The FDA this week said that Lupin Pharmaceuticals is recalling batches of its Irbesartan Tablets and Irbesartan-Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets due to Potential Presence of N-nitrosoirbesartan Impurity. This medicine is commonly prescribed by doctors for treatment for blood pressure.

Recall is only for these tablets manufactured by Lupin Pharmaceuticals and not all manufacturers. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR PHARMACIST OR CONTACT US TO CHECK IF YOUR BATCH IS EFFECTED.

Meanwhile, continue to take the medication as prescribed. You can find more information on the FDA website.
