Description
Three blood pressure medicines in one pill, and 3,744 bottles of it were just recalled. This blood pressure medication recall hits the generic olmesartan, amlodipine, and hydrochlorothiazide tablets made by Macleods Pharma USA. The brand name Tribenzor isn’t affected. The problem is that the tablets failed dissolution testing, which means they may not break down the way they should, so you could be taking a pill that isn’t doing its job while your pressure stays high. The FDA calls it Class II, so serious harm is considered remote, but high blood pressure is a leading cause of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. As a kidney and high blood pressure doctor, I’d rather you double check. Look for lot numbers 12251163A and 12251163B, both expiring May 31, 2027, and call your pharmacist and doctor before changing anything. Follow for more.
