Thousands of bottles of a blood pressure medication are being recalled nationwide, according to a recent announcement from the Food and Drug Administration.
According to the latest recall alert, issued on June 5, Inventia Healthcare Limited issued a voluntary recall of certain bottles of Chlorthalidone Tablets. The reason listed for the recall was “failed dissolution specifications.”
The recall includes:
Chlorthalidone Tablets, USP, 25 mg, [100 or 1000]
According to the FDA, more than 11,400 bottles were involved. They were set to expire in April 2027.
The Mayo Clinic reports Chlorthalidone “is used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).” It can also be used to treat fluid retention.
It marks the latest blood pressure medication recall after another widely-used drug was recalled in October.
At that time, more than a half-million bottles of Prazosin Hydrochloride, were recalled over concerns they contained unsafe levels of a cancer-causing chemical, with the drugmaker telling patients who take the pills to contact their doctor or pharmacy if they have the product.
