TL;DR

More than 11,000 bottles of chlorthalidone tablets (25 mg) used to treat high blood pressure have been recalled nationwide after a manufacturing issue caused dissolution specifications to fail. Inventia Healthcare Limited initiated the voluntary recall on June 5, with 100-count bottles (Lot RISA24001) and 1,000-count bottles (Lot RISB24002) distributed in the U.S. by Rising Pharma Holdings Inc. The FDA has not yet assigned a recall classification, and no public press release had been issued; patients should contact their pharmacist or healthcare provider if they believe they have a recalled bottle and should not stop taking prescribed medication without medical advice.
