Losartan recall: Popular blood pressure medicine joins ongoing recall for potential cancer risk


(CNN) A widespread recall of common blood pressure and heart failure medications has been expanded to include more drugs containing losartan. The recall is due to an "impurity" that is classified as a potential human carcinogen. Camber Pharmaceuticals Inc. voluntarily recalled 87 lots of losartan tablets in the United States on Thursday. The recall noted that Camber has not received any reports of adverse events related to the recall. NMBA had not been found in previously recalled ARB products, but the FDA continues its investigations.
