What Was Recalled and Why
The recall affects Bisoprolol Fumarate (2.5 mg) and Hydrochlorothiazide (6.25 mg) tablets — a combination medication commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure. The affected product comes in 100-count bottles and was distributed throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
The FDA initiated the recall on January 21, 2026, and officially listed it in its enforcement report on January 30, 2026.
The reason for the recall: the manufacturer failed to meet acceptable limits for a chemical impurity called N-Nitroso Bisoprolol — a type of nitrosamine compound. The FDA has been increasingly vigilant about nitrosamine contamination in generic drugs in recent years, and for good reason.
While nitrosamines occur naturally in some foods — including cured meats, dairy, and certain vegetables — their presence in medications at elevated levels “may increase the risk of cancer if people are exposed to them above acceptable levels and over long periods of time,” according to the FDA.

What are the names of the medications. You’re not helping anyone when you don’t even listen the names of the medications

Who believes the trump FDA or the trump anything now days anyway. They are lead by a HHS Secretary quack-job who fired the real experts protecting the health of the country and the world, He replaced them with his fellow quack-jobs and therefore are no longer the premier go to health/medical authority of the past. Gold standard no…corroded penny at the bottom of the swamp yes.
The “Trump FDA”?! That’s news to me! FYI, the drug problem has been around WAY before Trump; the REAL issue is bad powerful pharma and how the drug companies mislead doctors. The real problem if that big pharma owns the FDA. Please look up the FDA approved Oxycontin crisis which was going on for years until 2010-2013 (and yet the Sackler family who was behind the drug is worth BILLIONS even today) or the FDA approved Thalidomide drug from the 1950’s to the early ’60s. Seems with your logic, the presidents during those years weren’t “protecting the health of our country” at all. FYI, guess who signed an executive order to classify fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, our current president whom you despise. If we all keep this in mind “a log in your own eye” Matthew 7:3-5, our country would be united again.
For your own knowledge Floyd, push away you TDS blinders and look up the history of bad pharma in our country and how they pretty much call the shots, no pun intended.
