Valsartan
Serving Clients Nationwide From Our Texas Offices in Corpus Christi, San Antonio & Austin
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the first voluntary recall of certain products containing valsartan on July 13, 2018, due to the discovery of an impurity in the drugs. The impurity, N-nitrosodimethylamine, or NDMA, is a probable human carcinogen, which means that it poses a potential cancer risk to those taking the drug.
