Manufactured by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited, the recalled medications include lot codes &#8220;17232401&#8221; or &#8220;17240974&#8221; and expiration dates of &#8220;11\/2025&#8221; or &#8220;05\/2026.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Check your blood pressure medication. If it matches the recall information, contact your prescriber or pharmacist for a replacement. The recall was issued because tested samples showed traces of ezetimibe, a drug used to treat high cholesterol. The recall has been classified as Class III, meaning the recalled pills are &#8220;not likely to cause adverse health consequences.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> No illnesses or reactions have been linked to this recall.
