To this day I knock on wood because I’ve yet to know one person with Covid or who died from Covid. I do know many people who died from cancer. One was my husband and he took this drug for a long time. It wasn’t in the time frame referenced.
Has happened with other blood pressure meds
But it was FDA approved ad totally safe. What happened?
Irbesartan was supposed to be a safer medication.
One of the other “sartan” drugs was pulled several years ago. Now this one. I’m on telmisartan; I think I’ll ask my doctor about changing it, just in case.
This is a drug made generically by more than one manufacturer. The recall appears to be because of high levels of an impurity in the API, but not in the finished product. It is for certain lots made by Lupin. Nonetheless, it went on for 3 years.
I take HCTZ but not the other medication. HCTZ is blended with several drugs for hypertension. Pleas check out if you are using.
