Unichem Pharmaceuticals is recalling 190,992 bottles of Clonidine Hydrochloride Tablets USP 0.1 mg (a blood pressure medication). The recall was initiated because very low levels of a chemical called benzophenone may have leaked from the container into the tablets, causing the product to fail purity and quality standards. This voluntary recall affects 100-count bottles that were distributed nationwide throughout the United States.
The tablets may contain trace amounts of benzophenone, an impurity that migrated from the packaging material into the medicine. While the levels are reported as very low, the presence of this unintended chemical means the medication does not meet the strict safety and quality specifications required for pharmaceutical products.
