More blood pressure, heart failure medications added to FDA recall A probable carcinogen called N- nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was found in the drugs. More companies have been added to an FDA recall of blood pressure medicine containing a possible carcinogen. Click or tap here www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/DrugSafety/UCM615703.pdf to see the updated list, which expands upon the original valsartan-containing drugs to at least 40 products with varying pill counts. An impurity called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was found in the drugs. NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen based on lab tests. Earlier: FDA recalls blood pressure, heart failure medications after cancer-causing agents found The FDA says the list now includes valsartan-containing products manufactured by Hetero Labs Limited, in India, labeled as Camber Pharmaceuticals Inc. www.whas11.com/article/news/more-blood-pressure-heart-failure-medications-added-to-fda-recall/417-582642181

Don't use such med, but my Colombiana does. I have been telling her about them pills and finally she is beginning to at least skip doses because at times her blood pressure is way low.
I do pomegranates which are good for he blood, lowers cholesterol and great for heart muscles. But most of all, better than saw palmetto for the prostate gland.

I'm trying to steer clear of the beta blockers. I understand they have some bad side effects. Because I suffer from gout, I graduated from hydrochlorothiazide to amlodipine besylate. It tires me out but I am fortunate not to suffer from 'coxaflopin' as one its side effects! )
