Zydus Pharmaceuticals is recalling 7,668 bottles of Carvedilol (3.125 mg) after a customer discovered a fragmented, light yellow tablet of a different medication mixed in with their prescription. Carvedilol is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. The presence of a foreign medication in your prescription bottle means you could accidentally ingest a drug you were not prescribed, which may lead to unexpected side effects or interactions with your current treatment. These products were distributed nationwide across the United States in 500-count bottles.
Ingesting a fragmented tablet of an unknown drug product can cause unpredictable pharmacological effects, allergic reactions, or dangerous drug-drug interactions. Because the foreign substance was identified as a fragment of another medication, consumers are at risk of taking a dose of a drug not intended for them.
