BP Drug on Recall

Saw and read this article on CNN this morning and thought it was a good idea to post it here to be sure those who take it knew about the recall. Hope it helps someone.

Yup, its the one I was switched to from the last time there was a recall. It is only 1% of the product in the USA, but who knows how much that is. It's like saying we only added poison to some of the drinks. This company should be banned from making drugs.

toxic compounds can be found in the synthesis of many drugs. It seems that Angiotensin II receptor blockers (— sartan” named drugs) can have some really bad ones.

The problem with many generic drugs is that there are now tons of companies all over the world making them. Regulatory agencies like the FDA can’t possibly inspect them and their products regularly. Some companies cut corners are barely check their lots of meds for contaminants. These companies, when caught, should be forced out of the markets. Unfortunately no one does this either. We suffer the consequences.
