Chlorthalidone is a diuretic, often called a “water pill.” It helps the kidneys remove extra water and salt from the body through urine, which can help lower blood pressure and reduce swelling. <\/p>\n
Because the drug is used to manage conditions that can require long-term treatment, patients should not stop taking it without first speaking with a doctor or pharmacist. <\/p>\n
FDA recall covers 11,460 bottles of Chlorthalidone <\/p>\n
The FDA Enforcement Report lists the recall for Chlorthalidone Tablets, USP, 25 mg, in 100-tablet and 1,000-tablet bottles. <\/p>\n
The medication was manufactured by Inventia Healthcare Limited in India and distributed in the U.S. by Rising Pharma Holdings, Inc., in East Brunswick, N.J., according to the FDA product details. <\/p>\n

The recall covers 11,460 bottles distributed nationwide. <\/p>\n
The affected 100-tablet bottles carry NDC 64980-599-01 and batch number RISA24001.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
The affected 1,000-tablet bottles carry NDC 64980-599-10 and batch number RISB24002. <\/p>\n
Both recalled batches have an expiration date of April 2027. <\/p>\n
The FDA lists the reason for the recall as “failed dissolution specifications.” <\/p>\n
That does not mean the recall involves contamination or a labeling mistake. Instead, it means the tablets failed to meet the required standards tied to how the medication dissolves. <\/p>\n
For a prescription drug, that can matter because dissolution testing helps determine whether a tablet releases medicine as expected after it is taken. <\/p>\n
The recall is voluntary and firm-initiated, according to the FDA record. The agency says the company initially notified consignees or the public by letter. <\/p>\n
The recall was initiated on June 5 and classified by the FDA on June 22. The recall remains ongoing, and the FDA lists no termination date. <\/p>\n
No press release was issued for the recall, according to the FDA record. <\/p>\n
The FDA originally listed the recall as “not yet classified,” but the agency has now updated it to Class II. <\/p>\n A Class II recall is not the FDA’s highest-risk category, but it still signals a potential health concern. <\/p>\n The FDA defines a Class II recall as one in which use of or exposure to a product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. <\/p>\n For patients, the classification provides more context about the risk level associated with the recalled medication. <\/p>\n The chlorthalidone recall comes amid heightened consumer attention to blood pressure medication recalls. <\/p>\n People reported<\/a> earlier this month that another blood pressure drug, Amlodipine and Olmesartan Medoxomil Tablets, was recalled in May after more than 15,000 bottles were affected by a separate failed dissolution issue. <\/p>\n The latest FDA update adds a new development to the chlorthalidone recall: the agency has now assigned it a Class II classification. <\/p>\n Related: Kroger stock slide reveals bigger grocery problem<\/a> <\/p>\n This story was originally published by TheStreet<\/a> on Jun 24, 2026, where it first appeared in the Latest Business & Market News<\/a> section.
