Blood pressure drug recalled after mix-up: Health Canada | CBC News

A blood pressure medication has been recalled after a mix-up that may have led to some bottles containing the wrong drug. According to Health Canada, Marcan Pharmaceuticals Inc. has recalled two lots of MAR-Amlodipine 5 milligram tablets, which are used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. That's because some bottles may instead contain 2.5 milligram tablets of midodrine, a medication used to treat low blood pressure.
