Just a heads up to anybody using this particular brand:

FDA Updates Recall On Blood Pressure Medication Due To Possible Carcinogen | ZeroHedge

Enforcement Report

"The notice said that New Jersey-based Aurobindo Pharma USA Inc. is recalling Nebivolol tablets in 2.5 milligram doses in 30-count bottles, which are only available by prescription. Nebivolol, a type of beta blocker, is used to treat high blood pressure.

The reason for the recall is because of the “presence of nitrosamine drug substance related impurity,” adding that discovered N-nitroso nebivolol levels are above the “acceptable intake limit,” it said. N-nitroso nebivolol is a nitrosamine and is considered mutagenic."

Nitrosamines keep showing up with increasing frequency in pharma meds as Chinese APIs become the norm for generics sold in the US. Those are the common factor from what the pharma companies involved say.

Thank god our Chinese peptides are made by underground labs that prioritize our health over all other considerations, and despite a complete absence of regulation or thorough examination, still keep them completely free of harmful substances.

scary shit

Valsartan, losartan, metformin.

Inadequate purification of Chinese manufactured active ingredients all led to US recalls of these drugs due to carcinogenic nitrosamines in the last few years.

I've seen it suggested it's specifically because Chinese labs reuse solvents to save money, leading to this carcinogen being created in chemical reactions.

I wonder how many China UGL tabs have nitrosamine in them.
