Clear Facts
- More than 25,000 bottles of blood pressure medication have been recalled nationwide.
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration cites failed dissolution specifications that could affect drug effectiveness.
- The recall applies to medication distributed across the United States.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has ordered a nationwide recall of more than 25,000 bottles of blood pressure medication.
The recall stems from failed dissolution specifications that may reduce the medication’s effectiveness for patients who rely on it daily.
Health officials emphasize that proper dissolution is critical for the drug to deliver its intended benefits.
“More than 25,000 bottles of blood pressure medication have been recalled in the United States due to ‘failed dissolution specifications’ — which can impact effectiveness of the drug, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).”
The recall affects a substantial volume of medication already distributed to pharmacies and patients across the country.
Patients are urged to check their medication bottles and consult healthcare providers if they have questions about the affected products.

How to identify?

If it’s a certain set of lot numbers that contain the tablets with substandard dissolution, only your pharmacist, not your physician, can possibly identify if that lot was dispensed to you. It would require that the lot numbers were included in the invoices from the wholesaler to the pharmacy. If the medicine was dispensed in the stock bottle, you may still be able to read the number on the bottle. If your prescription was dispensed in a quantity less than the stock bottle size, or if the pharmacy ordered the stock bottle in a large size, ( hundreds of units per bottle), then your prescription would be dispensed in an amber vial. The lot number and the actual expiration date are not required to be included on the label. There may be states that require this information on the label or in the patient information sheet, but I know of none.
This article should have listed the brand and generic names of the drugs involved, along with their manufacturer and lot numbers.

This has the smell of fear mongering . The information the pharmacist has will be overwhelming to contact ALL patients in due time ? Ugh. This is sickening to the point of total disbelief and honor not pharma anymore.
