- Hypertension Drug Avalide Recalled | Legal News | News Ticker
Millions of people suffer from some form of hypertension, and many of those who do need to depend on viable medication so that they can keep this condition under control and avoid the potentially disastrous results attached to this medical problem that include heart attacks and strokes. One of the most popular medications that’s been used in the United States to help manage hypertension is known as Avalide, and it’s manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Sanofi-Aventis SA collectively. The companies have recently announced a recall of millions of tablets of this medication due to manufacturing concerns.
Specifically, more than 64 million of these Avalide tablets have been recalled on a voluntary basis by the manufacturers because problems were discovered with the manufacturing protocol that affected the efficacy of the medication that was being used. A lack of efficacy means that not enough of the active ingredient in these recalled Avalide tablets was absorbing into the systems of the people who were using them, meaning that they were not obtaining a dose of medication that was as strong as they thought they were getting or that they needed.
The long-term danger associated with the under-medication of hypertension is basically the same as the danger associated with not treating hypertension at all – heart attacks, heart failure and strokes. Therefore, the companies decided to initiate this massive Avalide recall even though estimates indicate that the medication generated more than $400 million per year in revenue for the companies who were collaborating on marketing these medications. No specific word was given regarding the nature of the manufacturing problem.

My review is for Kathy Hudson a legal assistant at the law firm. She is great! She is very professional and a fair based person. She was never rude to me and always called me back. She listened to me and had my best interest as number 1. Mr Nasir who is a supervisor at law firm also was very professional and helpful. Not sure if spelling his name correctly but sorry if not. As far as mr Ross and the lady that runs the front desk reception I would say they are the most unprofessional and rude people I have met at a law firm in my life especially beings they were representing me. But Kathy made it overall a better experience. Thx Kathy.
