Ascend Laboratories LLC is recalling 1,212 bottles of Amlodipine Besylate 10 mg tablets because a lower dose 2.5 mg tablet was found mixed inside a bottle labeled as 10 mg. This recall affects 1000-count prescription bottles of Amlodipine Besylate, a medication used to treat high blood pressure. Consumers who inadvertently take the 2.5 mg tablet instead of their prescribed 10 mg dose may not receive the intended therapeutic effect. If you have this medication, you should consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately to ensure your tablets are correct.
Taking a 2.5 mg tablet when a 10 mg dose is prescribed results in receiving only one-quarter of the intended medication, which may lead to poorly controlled blood pressure or other cardiovascular complications.
