KVK-Tech, Inc. has issued a voluntary recall for approximately 1,488 bottles of Betaxolol (10 mg) tablets, a medication used to treat high blood pressure. The recall was initiated because some bottles may accidentally contain Oxycodone HCl (5 mg) tablets, a powerful opioid pain reliever. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date. The affected medication was sold in 100-count bottles at pharmacies nationwide in the United States and Puerto Rico.
Taking oxycodone instead of the intended blood pressure medication could cause severe respiratory depression (slowed or stopped breathing), which can be fatal, especially for those who do not regularly take opioids. Additionally, missing a prescribed dose of betaxolol can lead to a sudden and dangerous increase in blood pressure.
