FDA Recalls Drug Linked to Cancer Risk
⏺More than 330,000 bottles of cinacalcet tablets from Dr. Reddy's Laboratories have been recalled by the FDA due to concerns that the medication could increase the risk of cancer. The issue stems from high levels of nitrosamines found in the drug, a chemical compound that is typically present in food and beverages in small quantities but can be harmful over time.
⏺Doctors have advised patients to stop taking the medication. The recalled bottles list the product as being manufactured in Princeton, New Jersey, but also indicate it was "made in India."
⏺Cinacalcet is used to manage hyperparathyroidism, a thyroid disorder affecting calcium and phosphorus levels, in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis.
