Certain blood pressure meds recalled in the U.S. due to contamination; stop use and return to pharmacy.

A recall of certain blood pressure medications has been issued due to contamination with potentially harmful substances, according to a pharmacist in the Quad Cities. The affected drugs, primarily angiotensin II receptor blockers, were distributed in Michigan and other states. Health officials urge patients to check their medication labels and consult their healthcare providers for safe alternatives. No deaths have been reported, but the FDA continues to investigate. Patients are advised not to stop taking their medication without medical guidance.
