The Food and Drug Administration has recalled thousands of blood pressure medicines and diuretic, or water, pills after they failed quality checks. According to the agency, the drugs did not dissolve properly in the stomach.
Fox Business reported that the FDA recalled two lots of blood pressure medication: Olmesartan Medoxomil, sold under the brand name Benicar, along with Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) water pills.
The recall covers 3,528 30-count bottles from lot 12251163A and 216 90-count bottles from lot 12251163B. Both lots are set to expire in 2027.
The FDA said the drugs “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.” It classified the recall as Class II, meaning serious harm is not expected.
The action follows another blood pressure drug recall tied to a similar problem, Fox Business reported.
Inventia Healthcare Ltd., based in India, recalled 13,567 bottles of 25-milligram chlorthalidone tablets after the medication failed dissolution testing, according to the FDA. Chlorthalidone is used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention, according to Mayo Clinic.
