More Blood Pressure Drugs Being Recalled

This is ridiculous. I believe this is the third recall in the last few months - **broken link removed**

Macleods Pharmaceuticals Limited on Monday recalled one lot of the blood pressure medication losartan after discovering trace amounts of a probable carcinogen.

The recalled 100 mg/25 mg losartan and potassium/hydrochlorothiazide tablets contained small amounts of N-nitrosodiethylamine, or NDEA, according to a company recall notice shared on the Food and Drug Administration's website.

Doctors advise affected consumers to continue taking their medication until a pharmacist replaces the drugs or provides another treatment. Discontinuing a recalled drug could cause more immediate harm than staying on the medication.

The active drug ingredient was made at Hetero Labs Limited in India, one of two overseas drug factories linked to repeated blood medication recalls since last July.

The ongoing recalls prompted the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce to ask Food and Drug Administration officials this month about the safety of drugs made overseas.

There have been more than 15 recalls of versions of the blood pressure and heart medications losartan, valsartan and irbesartan that contained trace amounts of NDEA or another probable carcinogen, N-nitrosodimethylamine, or NDMA. The recalled drugs are part of a large class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor blockers, or ARBs, which work by relaxing the blood vessels.

Last month, the FDA downplayed the cancer risk for any person who took valsartan that had small amounts of NDMA. The FDA concluded there would be one more cancer case above average rates for every 8,000 people on the highest dose of valsartan for four years.

In September, the FDA issued an import alert to block products made at Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical in China from entering the United States.

FDA officials said Monday that the agency is reviewing the committee letter and will respond directly to congressional staff.

FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb last week said in a tweet that the FDA has had a "steady increase" in inspections of overseas generic drug plants over the last four years.

He added that the FDA has had a fivefold increase in warning letters to human drug manufacturers.
 
The FDA has an extensive history of being easily mislead and/or fooled by Big Pharma Companies extolling the virtues of their patented drugs. What is more interesting is to question the integrity of the FDA committee members that determine whether or not a new drug will be approved for retail in the U.S.
 
Didn't see Lisinopril on the list unless I missed it. Never needed it until I got back into AAS. I finally decide to jump on and this starts happening.

Integrity is a chimera. As long as you have access to more money and power, you will have corruption and dishonesty.

More lots are being added to this recall - https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/87-lots-of-popular-blood-pressure-medication-recalled-for-cancer-risk/ar-BBUesGq?li=BBnb7Kz

Camber Pharmaceuticals, Inc. recalled 87 lots of the blood pressure medication losartan on Thursday after discovering trace amounts of a potential carcinogen.

The recalled 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg tablets contained small amounts of N-Nitroso N-Methyl 4-amino butyric acid, or NMBA, according to a company recall notice posted on the Food and Drug Administration's website. It's the second losartan recall in a week; Macleods Pharmaceuticals Limited recalled a single lot on Feb. 22.

Camber says the medication was nationally distributed to retail and mail-order pharmacies, in addition to wholesalers and distributors.

"To date, Camber has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall," the release says.

The medication is packaged in 30 count, 90 count, 500 count and 1000 count bottles. A full list of recalled medications is available from the FDA.

The release says that consumers should continue taking the product until receiving guidance from their doctor.

The active drug ingredient was made at Hetero Labs Limited in India, one of two overseas drug factories linked to repeated blood medication recalls since last July.

There have been more than a dozen recalls of versions of the blood pressure and heart medications losartan, valsartan and irbesartan that contained trace amounts of probable carcinogens.

The recalled drugs are part of a large class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor blockers, or ARBs, which work by relaxing the blood vessels.

And this is the EXACT reason why I chose to not take the path of being part of R&D for Big Pharma nearly 20 years ago. :)

I haven't seen it recalled anywhere either. Lisinopril has been a round for a very long time and the majority of people do very well on it.
