"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 potential risk if accidentally combined. Betaxolol can slow heart rates and worsen lung and heart function. Patients are advised to check their medication for batch numbers and expiration dates and not to take the affected lot. KVK-Tech is arranging for the recalled pills to be returned, and reimbursement information is available on the FDA's website.
