Unichem Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. is recalling approximately 19,161,600 units of Clonidine Hydrochloride Tablets USP 0.1mg, a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure. The recall was issued as a precaution because a chemical called Benzophenone may have migrated from the container label into the tablets at very low levels. This issue was discovered when the product failed testing for impurities and degradation specifications. Consumers should contact their doctor or pharmacist for advice on continued treatment.
Benzophenone, a chemical used in some label inks, may have moved from the bottle's label into the medicine itself. While the levels are reported to be very low, the presence of this unintended impurity means the tablets do not meet required quality and safety standards.
Healthcare provider consultation and pharmacy refund.
