How Serious Is This Recall?

The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall—which means it represents “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”

In plain terms: this is a precautionary action, not an emergency. The FDA is not suggesting that people who took this medication are in immediate danger. The concern is about long-term exposure above acceptable limits—not a single dose or short-term use.

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

    1. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. The FDA did not approve thalidomide in the 50’s and 60’s for use in pregnancy . Look it up. they have approved other harmful medications over the years however.
