US FDA says cancer-causing toxin found in blood pressure pills recalled by India's Hetero Labs Ltd
A man has his blood pressure checked at the Remote Area Medical Clinic in Wise, Virginia, US, July 22, 2017.
The toxin, N-Nitroso-N-methyl-4-aminobutyric acid , identified in 87 lots of Hetero's lo sartan potassium pills, was not found in medicines that were previously recalled by a number of drugmakers. Global authorities have been clamping down on sales of some blood pressure medicines as they are suspected to be tainted with two probable carcinogens - N-nitrosodiethylamine and N-nitrosodimethylamine .
The recalls began last year after regulators said ingredients used by Chinese manufacturer Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals Co to produce valsartan contained cancer-causing impuriti es.
