The voluntary recall concerns 11,460 bottles of chlorthalidone 25 mg tablets with an expiry date of April 2027. More than 11,000 bottles of blood pressure medication are remembered nationwide due to a manufacturing defect, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
All 11,460 bottles of Chlorthalidone Tablets, USP, 25 mg, are being recalled due to “dissolution specification failure.”
Dissolution testing measures the rate of release of a drug and its active ingredient from the tablet or capsule used as dosage when placed in a liquid to evaluate the performance and quality of various drug formulations and batches, depending on Pion pharmaceutical company.
The recalled drugs were manufactured by Inventia Healthcare Limited in India – which initiated the voluntary recall – and distributed in the United States by Rising Pharma Holdings of East Brunswick, New Jersey.

FOX Business has reached out to Inventia Healthcare and Rising Pharma for comment.
THE Cleveland Clinic said chlorthalidone is used to treat high blood pressure by helping the kidneys remove fluid and salt from a user’s blood through urine.
It is considered a diuretic medication and may also be used to reduce swelling related to heart, kidney, or liver disease.
