In a busy month, Pfizer extends recall of blood pressure meds to the UK

Monday, the company pulled (PDF) one lot of Accuretic off shelves in the U.K., continuing its busy month of voluntary recalls as a precautionary measure because of the presence of cancer-causing agents.

Earlier this month in Canada, Pfizer issued two rounds of recalls for Accuretic and another for blood pressure medicine Inderal. Then last week in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, Pfizer pulled back Accuretic and its two generic versions produced by Greenstone.
