Unichem Pharmaceuticals is recalling approximately 96,876 bottles of Bisoprolol Fumarate tablets (5 mg, 30-count bottles). This prescription medication, which is used to treat high blood pressure, was found to contain an unknown impurity that was discovered during 18-month stability testing. The product was distributed nationwide to pharmacies and distributors between 2016 and 2018. If you have this medication, you should consult your pharmacist or doctor before stopping use, as stopping blood pressure medication abruptly can be dangerous.
The presence of unknown impurities or degradation products means the medication no longer meets safety and quality standards, which could potentially cause unexpected side effects or reduce the drug's effectiveness over time.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
