If you’ve been prescribed medicines, then it is very important for you to be aware of all the side effects, as well as, linked risks.

Since it was revealed that there are cancer-causing particles in the drugs, the U.S Food and Drug Administration had, as well as, still recalls Valsartan medicines. In case you are not aware of this drug, Valsartan is a common medicine used for controlling blood pressure and reducing the chances of heart failure.

After the impurities were found in the drugs, a reminder was announced by the Food and Drug Administration last year of Valsartan drug products by a few manufacturers. The presence of NDMA-contaminated Valsartan, as well as, later NDEA drugs was found out through tests.

NDEA, as well as, NDMA has been shown to be cancer-causing by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Many more samples have been recalled after last year’s recall session and the Food and Drug Administration is still working on to reach to more producers to include the Valsartan products.

It was suspected by the Food and Drug Administration that a Chinese maker, Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical Co manufactured the recalled Valsartan drug. How the drug was originally produced was changed which lead to its NDMA contamination.

Valsartan products have been recalled by some other firms voluntarily, such as Torrent Pharmaceutical products and Aurobindo Pharma USA.

It was stated by a partner at Whitley Law Firm, Whitney Butcher that further reminders are important. Butcher mainly does a collaboration with customers in the area of practice is faulty, as well as, dangerous medical devices.

It is being believed by the Food and Drug Administration that the risk is low, however, it still suggests you change medication when you are able.
