Is Lisinopril/HCTZ 20mg/12.5mg Tablet, QTY: 30 tablets per blister card, MFG: Lupin Pharma Baltimore, MD 21202, NDC 68180-0519-02 (Original NDC of 500 count bottle); 70518-0382-03 (Repackaged NDC for blister cards).

 recalled?

Accepted Answer

RemedyRepack Inc. has recalled about 480 tablets of Lisinopril/HCTZ (20mg/12.5mg), a medication used to treat high blood pressure. The recall was initiated because a different medication, a Lupin Fenofibrate 145mg tablet used for cholesterol, was found inside a bottle of Lisinopril/HCTZ. This mix-up could lead to consumers accidentally taking the wrong medication, which may result in unexpected side effects or uncontrolled blood pressure. These products were distributed in Pennsylvania and packaged in blister cards of 30 tablets each.

Question 2

What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Check your medication packaging for Lisinopril/HCTZ 20mg/12.5mg tablets in 30-count blister cards with Lot # J0322819-091418 and an expiration date of 09/30/2019. Identify the affected product by looking for NDC 70518-0382-03 on the repackaged blister cards or NDC 68180-0519-02, which was the original code on the source 500-count bottles. If you have this specific lot, stop taking the medication immediately and inspect the tablets for any foreign or unusual-looking pills that do not match the rest of the pack. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately for guidance on obtaining a replacement prescription and to report if you have accidentally consumed a foreign tablet. Return any remaining unused medication to the pharmacy where it was purchased for a refund and further instructions.
