Another pharmaceutical company has recalled blood pressure medication over illness risk
Another pharmaceutical company is recalling a blood pressure medication that could increase the risk of cancer if taken in large amounts.
On Wednesday, Lupin Pharmaceuticals recalled four lots of Quinapril Tablets because the medication has too much of the nitrosamine impurity N-Nitroso-Quinapril, the FDA announced.
The medication in question is marked as:
▪ Quinapril Tablets USP, 20mg | lot No. G102929 | expiration date of April 2023
▪ Quinapril Tablets USP, 40mg | lot Nos. G100533, G100534, G203071 | expiration dates of December 2022 and March 2024
What is nitrosamine and N-Nitroso-Quinapril?
In its recall advisory, the FDA says nitrosamines are commonly found in water and foods — like cured and grilled meats, dairy products and vegetables — that everyone is exposed to at some level.
However, impurities, like N-Nitroso-Quinapril, may increase the risk of cancer if people are exposed to it above acceptable levels over a long period of time.
