Most blood pressure recalls of the last several years have been driven by nitrosamine impurities (NDMA, NDEA) — probable carcinogens found as manufacturing by-products in the ARB class (valsartan, then losartan and irbesartan). Others are ordinary manufacturing or potency failures. A recall almost always names specific lots and manufacturers; a drug being on this list does not mean every bottle is affected.

How to use this page

A drug appearing here does not mean your prescription is unsafe. Recalls name specific lots and manufacturers — open the recall to see the affected lot numbers, and match them against your bottle. Never stop a blood-pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, antidepressant or antibiotic medicine on your own because of a recall; confirm your lot, then ask your pharmacist for a replacement if it is affected.

Other categories: Eye drop and ophthalmic · Cholesterol medication · Diabetes medication · Antidepressant · Antibiotic. See also the full recalls tracker and the recall report.

Recalls are matched to this category by the drug names in the FDA’s product description; a small number of category recalls may be missed if the description omits the ingredient. Figures are recall events, not units, and reflect our copy of the FDA data, refreshed daily. This is public regulatory data, not medical advice.
