Re: Diovan, valsartan recalled today

Well, saw my MD today, and she was shocked I said they were recalling the Valsartan, and immediately checked whatever sources she has.   She read off the info and it said the FDA was ordering certain brands .... all made in China.  Other sources would be okay, but I'm starting another med because of the nausea I was having every morning .... I'm tired if that queasy feeling.

 

BTW .... I also spoke to a pharmacist where I have my meds filled.  He said they (Walmart) were pulling all versions of Valsartan.  Maybe some confusion about the safety of this drug?

 

Anyway, if nothing else, I'm glad to get rid of that "queasy" pill!    Hope the new one is okay.
