Health officials announce ANOTHER recall of blood pressure pills in the UK

Health officials announce ANOTHER recall of blood pressure pills in the UK More blood pressure and heart medications have been recalled today amid concerns they contain a chemical linked to cancer.

The recall is the latest in a months-long scandal with irbesartan, a drug prescribed to patients with high blood pressure or kidney disease.

Pharmacies have been told not to dispense three batches of the pills, just a day after a US company announced a similar recall there.

Today's announcement concerns 150mg and 300mg irbesartan pills supplied by Macleods Pharma UK. Other recalls have concerned other firms. The Daily Mail
