Recall of Blood Pressure Medication Bottles
Over 580,000 bottles of blood pressure medication have been recalled by the FDA due to elevated levels of a potential carcinogenic impurity.
Affected bottles contain prazosin hydrochloride capsules of 1 mg, 2 mg, and 5 mg, which can be identified by lot number and expiration date.
No one wants to trade high blood pressure for a potentially cancer-causing chemical.
It is essential to consult a physician before stopping the medication, even if the bottles are affected.
The recall is specified in the FDA's Enforcement Report, which provides details on the affected lots.
