"Recalled Blood Pressure Medicine Contaminated with Oxycodone Tablet"

Drug manufacturer KVK-Tech is voluntarily recalling a batch of the blood pressure medication betaxolol after a 5 mg oxycodone HCl pill was found on the packaging line. The two pills are similar in appearance, posing a risk to patients who may accidentally combine the medications. Betaxolol can potentially slow heart rates and worsen lung and heart function. Users are urged to check their medication for batch numbers and expiration dates and not to take the recalled pills. KVK-Tech is arranging for the return of all affected pills, and reimbursement information is available on the FDA's website.
