If you’re a regular user of Ramipril, the blood pressure medication, your bottle of pills may be recalled.
Due to a slip-up on the FDA’s front, 600,000 bottles of the commonly used medication are being pulled from shelves.

Due to ingredients used by an unregulated manufacturer,

the medication is being recalled due to a fear of possible contamination. It’s Ramipril capsules in strengths of 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg.

This particular medication is prescribed for hypertension.

It is used to open the blood vessels and reduce heart pressure. It is usually administered after a heart attack.
One of the ingredients was being used by a factory in India with improper checks done for their suppliers.

The FDA thinks the risk is low, but, better safe than sorry.

Currently, there have been no adverse effects. However, if you have one of the listed bottles, best to throw it out.

So, you should check your blood pressure medication for a recalled one.
