"Recall Issued for Blood Pressure Medication Contaminated with Oxycodone"

Drug manufacturer KVK-Tech is voluntarily recalling a batch of the blood pressure medication betaxolol after a 5 mg oxycodone HCl pill was found on the packaging line. The two pills are similar in appearance, posing a risk to patients who may accidentally combine the medications. Betaxolol can potentially slow heart rates and worsen lung and heart function. Patients are advised to check their medication for batch numbers and expiration dates and to contact a physician if experiencing unexpected reactions. KVK-Tech is arranging for the recalled pills to be returned, and reimbursement information is available on the FDA's website.
