METOPROLOL/TOPROL being Recalled by ETHEX Pharmaceutical - High & Low Blood Pressure Message Board

Once again these cheap generic imitators (ETHEX corp) are being forced by the FDA to recall TOPROL/METROPOLOL (among numerous others including AMLODIPINE) for poor manufacturing practices and unsafe standards. In conclusion pills are junk. You can read all about it (It is public knowledge)

The recall is also extended to SANDOZ pharm. With all the recalls apparently with TOPROL/METOPROLOL the drug is currently in short supply and may be unavailable soon.

Thanks for the info, Ace...based on the posts I've read on these boards, all I can say is "It's about time!"

Ace, why oh why does Sandoz pharmaceuticals ring a bell to me? I suspect I may have to go back and see if any of my bp meds were manufactured by this firm.
