Bisoprolol Fumarate and Hydrochlorothiazide tablets
cGMP Deviations: recall due to not meeting the N-Nitroso Bisoprolol impurity specification limits.
Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
CGMP Deviations: FDA lab confirmed presence an impurity, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDEA) contained in the API used to manufacture the product above the interim acceptable daily intake level of 0.083 parts per million.
Cause type: Nitrosamine impurity
Trace nitrosamine impurities such as NDMA, NDEA or NMBA found above the acceptable daily limit. Nitrosamines are probable human carcinogens that can form during manufacturing or storage. This is the cause behind the large valsartan, losartan and ranitidine (Zantac) recalls. All nitrosamine impurity recalls.

Check, then ask. Class II means harm is possible but usually temporary or reversible. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches, ask your pharmacist about a replacement. Do not simply stop a prescribed medication on your own - the gap can be riskier than the recall. This recall is now completed, which means the firm has finished removing the affected product; anything on pharmacy shelves today should be unaffected.
