Americans who take medication for high blood pressure may want to check their medicine cabinets<\/a> after thousands of bottles of a prescription drug were recalled nationwide.<\/p>\n New Jersey-based Macleods Pharma USA<\/a> is recalling certain lots of Olmesartan Medoxomil, Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets after the medication failed to meet federal quality standards, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).<\/p>\n The recall covers 3,528 30-count bottles from lot 12251163A and 216 90-count bottles from lot 12251163B. Both lots expire May 31, 2027.<\/p>\n NEARLY 6 MILLION COFFEE MAKERS SOLD AT MAJOR RETAILERS RECALLED OVER BURN RISK<\/a><\/p>\n Consumers can<\/a> check their prescription bottles for the lot number and National Drug Code, or NDC. The recalled 30-count bottles have NDC 33342-246-07, while the 90-count bottles have NDC 33342-246-10.<\/p>\n The FDA listed the reason for the recall as “failed dissolution specifications,” meaning the pills did not dissolve as required during testing.<\/p>\n POPULAR KIDS’ TOOTHPASTES AMONG 4M TUBES RECALLED NATIONWIDE<\/a><\/p>\n The agency classified the action as a Class II recall, meaning use of the affected medication “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences” but the likelihood of serious health consequences is considered remote.<\/p>\n Macleods Pharma USA initiated the recall Oct. 7, and the FDA classified it Oct. 26. The recall remains ongoing and affects products distributed nationwide<\/a>.<\/p>\n The recall comes<\/a> weeks after another blood pressure medication was pulled from shelves over a similar issue.<\/p>\n HYUNDAI RECALLS MORE THAN 94,000 VEHICLES OVER FIRE RISK<\/a><\/p>\n India-based Inventia Healthcare Ltd. recalled 13,567 bottles of 25-milligram chlorthalidone tablets in September after the medication failed dissolution testing, according to the FDA.<\/p>\n Chlorthalidone is used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention, according to Mayo Clinic.<\/p>\n Macleods Pharma USA could not immediately be reached by FOX Business for comment.<\/p>\n FOX Business’ Matthew Kazin contributed to this report.
