TOTAL RECALL
In July 2018, the FDA issued a recall alert for certain blood
pressure and heart failure drugs, including angiotensin II receptor
blockers that contained the active ingredients valsartan, losartan,
and irbesartan, which were found to be contaminated with probable
carcinogens. (Branded versions were not affected.) While the
amounts of probable carcinogens were higher than the FDA
deemed acceptable, a patient would have to take the largest dose
possible for four years to realize a minimal cancer risk. Even then,
not all the batches of the medication were affected. However,
patients taking prescription medications regularly should be aware
when medications are recalled over possible safety issues. The
pharmacist may be the most immediate and authoritative source of
this information.
A medication recall is the most effective way to protect people
from a defective or potentially harmful product. Safely disposing of
your recalled medication will reduce the chances of you or others
accidentally taking it, and prevent the drug from contaminating the
environment. For more information, please call VILLAGE
PHARMACY at 781-334-3133. There’s nothing more important to
us than your family’s well-being. Our pharmacists take the time to
counsel you and answer your questions.
HINT: When the pharmacist asks you if you have any questions
regarding the medication you are about to receive, view it as an
invaluable opportunity to make yourself a more informed patient.
