According to Fox 28, the FDA says certain blood pressure medications have been recalled because they contain impurities believed to cause cancer.
If your medication is among those recalled, you’re asked to call your doctor or pharmacist immediately. But the FDA does say that until you find an alternate treatment, you should continue taking your prescription because you could risk more harm if you stop taking your medicine altogether.
