Losartan Solco

Updated

Wall Street Journal (Saturday, January 26th) posted an article, "Warning on Drugs For Blood Pressure"

Losartan, Solco Healthcare, LLC was listed. The label on my Losartan is "NDC 43547-360-09 Losartan Potassium". The label also shows "Zhejiang, China 317024"

Is this batch on recall? Also, is there a Losartan manufactured in the United States?

An elevated level of a certain substance suspected of being carcinogenic was found in some of them, so they were recalled. As to whether or not you received one that was involved in the recall, your pharmacy should notify you, if that was the case, alternatively, you can double check with them to be sure.

Here is an FDA link to one of the recent recall letters for more information Losartan Recall.

it is important to note that while they are suspicions about this substance, there have not been any instances of it having actually caused harm, so far.

As to the manufacturing location, it really doesn't matter, since regardless of where it's made, it all has to meet the same standards as any other medication, which is why testing is occurring and resulting in recalls.

Is there anything else I can help with?
