MasterPharm LLC has recalled approximately 7,260 capsules of Finasteride Plus 1.25mg because they were found to be contaminated with minoxidil, a different medication used for blood pressure and hair growth. These compounded products were sold in 30-count and 90-count bottles throughout the United States. Consumers who have this medication should stop using it immediately and consult their doctor or pharmacist, as it contains a drug other than what was prescribed.
The presence of undeclared minoxidil in a product intended to be finasteride can cause serious side effects such as low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and fluid retention. This cross-contamination means patients are unknowingly consuming a potent cardiovascular medication, which poses a significant health hazard.
