Nearly one million bottles of heart and kidney medication have been recalled<\/u> nationwide over the possibility of a “foreign substance,” according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.<\/p>

California-based Amgen, Inc.\u00a0voluntarily recalled at least 944,142 bottles of Corlanor and Sensipar tablets after “unexpected foreign matter” was found “in the reserve sample of one of the identified lots,” the California state Board of Pharmacy said in an alert<\/u>.<\/p>

“The unexpected foreign matter was localized on the exterior tablet surface, over the coating,” the board said. “Therefore, as a precautionary measure, all lots within expiry that were processed in AML Building 23 packaging area, where the condition occurred, are being recalled.”<\/p>

The board added that hazard assessments have found it doesn\u2019t present a clinical risk to patients and “overall patient safety risk is low.”<\/p>

<\/div>

There have been no complaints about the issue.<\/p>

Corlanor, which is also known by the generic name ivabradine, is prescribed to treat patients with chronic heart failure<\/u> and Sensipar, also known as cinacalcet hydrochloride, is mainly used to treat overactive parathyroidism in chronic kidney disease patients.<\/p>

\u2022 Sensipar\u00ae (cinacalcet hydrochloride) 60 mg, 30 tablets in 1 bottle; NDC 55513-074- 30<\/p>

\u2022 Sensipar\u00ae (cinacalcet hydrochloride) 90 mg, 30 tablets in 1 bottle; NDC 55513-075- 30<\/p>

The FDA has characterized the recall as Class II, meaning it could “cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences<\/u> is remote.”<\/p>
