Here's a link I found for the recall of the Losartan in the UK, but it was last summer. Hopefully everyone taking this drug here in the UK was made aware last summer.

This is old news. Relax. A very small batch was contaminated form memory.

We here in the US must be behind the times. It was on the news here 2 days ago. Hard for me to tell what is considered a small batch but it looked like a lot in the website.

Update. It was 56,000 bottles in the USA which may be small in the grand scheme of things. Sorry to scare anyone.

It's been ongoing recall with different batches. The last recall (a few days ago) was voluntary. I'm in Houston but I plan on checking with my pharmacist this week.

America is evidently different as theirs or its ingredients come from China.
