Health Canada warns of a recall for MAR-Amlodipine 5 mg due to incorrect midodrine tablets causing severe health risks.

Health Canada is warning consumers to check their MAR-Amlodipine 5 mg tablets due to a recall of two lots after some bottles were found to contain midodrine 2.5 mg tablets instead. The incorrect round, white "M2" tablets can cause dangerously high blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, or organ damage if taken. Patients should immediately return any bottles with round tablets to their pharmacy, avoid taking them, and seek medical help if experiencing symptoms like chest pain, severe headache, or weakness. Pharmacists are instructed to inspect stock and report issues. The recall is ongoing, and Health Canada is monitoring the situation.
