In total, more than 944,000 bottles were recalled, with the prescription pills distributed to patients nationwide. <\/p>\n<p>One of the medications recalled was Coloranor (generic name ivabradine), the report said, with 5 mg tablets and a number of lots impacted. Expiration dates range from Aug. 2026 to Dec. 2028. The other drug was Sensipar (generic name cinacalcet), with 30 mg tablets recalled. <\/p>\n<p>Sensipar was recalled, the report said, due to deviations during the manufacturing process, which could impact the safety and effectiveness of the pills. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hfsa.org\/fda-approves-corlanorr-ivabradine\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/hfsa.org\/fda-approves-corlanorr-ivabradine\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to Amgen<\/a>, Colanor is used to treat heart failure.
