Here’a what happened.

Batches of Irbesartan tablets are being recalled for possibly having too much carcinogen. The FDA has also made a statement on this but have not given an exact reason for the recall. Here’s everything you need to know about the recall.

The recall stated, “certain tested [active pharmaceutical ingredient] batches (but not finished product batches) were above the specification limit for the impurity, N-nitrosoirbeartan.” The high amount of carcinogen would have made a significant impact on a person’s body if they have taken the medication.
