Recall on a prescription drug that affects my son.

Tweet

I do try to check out recalls if they are something that we use, or swallow, or whatever. We are living in a strange time...and we have to try to stay informed and sort out in our minds what is important, and what isn't. This is important. This drug has a recall. ''Prazosin hydrochloride capsules are a type of prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily through the body. '' AND... ''N-Nitroso Prazosin impurity C is a nitrosamine, a class of chemicals that can form during the manufacturing process or during storage of some drugs, and is carcinogenic, according to Health.com.'' He has enough problems, and now we get to worry about this. Some days, I swear we are being tested. This was prescribed to my son, who is trying to recover from numerous surgeries and needed a strong drug for high BP. He never had numbers before, but the doctors say he does now--he does have a heart murmur, and occasional AFIB, but he's had that forever. Anyway, we were notified it was recalled and NOT to take this medication. Here is the entire article (of which I found quite a few!) and where I got my quotes. I am not happy about this at all.
