Recall of Blood Pressure Medication Bottles
Over 580,000 bottles of blood pressure medication made by Teva Pharmaceuticals have been recalled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to elevated levels of a potential carcinogenic impurity.
The affected medication is prazosin hydrochloride, with recalled bottles including 1 milligram (mg), 2 mg, and 5 mg capsules.
The recall was issued after certain lots of the medication tested positive for the impurity, which is a byproduct of the manufacturing process.
It is essential to consult a physician before stopping the medication, even if the bottles are affected.
Consult your physician before stopping a medication—even if you’re concerned that your bottles are affected.
Affected bottles can be identified by lot number and expiration date, as outlined in the FDA report.
