More than 11,000 bottles of chlorthalidone have been recalled after testing revealed potential issues which may affect the drug’s effectiveness, the FDA says.
Thousands of bottles of a popular blood pressure medication have been recalled nationwide due to a potential manufacturing issue that may affect how well the drug works.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, more than 11,400 bottles of prescription chlorthalidone pills are affected.
On June 5, the drug’s manufacturer, India-based Inventia Healthcare Limited, initiated a voluntary recall of certain lots of its 25-mg chlorthalidone tablets. The recalled 100-count and 1,000-count bottles were distributed across the U.S. by Rising Pharma Holdings, Inc., of New Jersey.
The recall was issued after testing revealed that certain lots of the medication “failed dissolution specifications,” per the FDA. This means that the tablets may not dissolve in the body as intended, which could impact their effectiveness.
On June 22, the FDA classified the recall as a moderate hazard or “Class II,” which is defined as a situation where use of the recalled product may cause temporary or medically-reversible adverse health effects, the agency explains.
Chlorthalidone is a common diuretic medication used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention, per Medline Plus. It works by helping the kidneys get rid of excess water and salt in the body and excrete them through urine.
If you take prescription blood pressure medication, it may be worth checking the label on the bottle.
Which Blood Pressure Pills Were Recalled? Approximately 11,460 bottles of prescription-only chlorthalidone were recalled, per the FDA.
The tablets were manufactured by Inventia Healthcare Limited, based in Mumbai, India. Recalled bottles have a specific NDC (National Drug Code) and batch number on the label.
The blood pressure medication affected by this recall includes:
Chlorthalidone Tablets, USP, 25 mg (100 count)
NDC: 64980-599-01 Batch: RISA24001 Expiration date: 04/2027 Chlorthalidone Tablets, USP, 25 mg (1,000 count)
NDC: 64980-599-10 Batch: RISB24002 Expiration date: 04/2027 The recalled bottles were distributed nationwide by Rising Pharma Holdings, Inc., in East Brunswick, New Jersey.
What to Do If You Have Recalled Medication The FDA has not yet released specific instructions for patients.
Anyone who takes 25-mg tablets of chlorthalidone should consider checking the label on the bottle to see if it matches the recalled product description.
If you believe your medication is affected in this recall, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately to discuss next steps.
Always consult with a medical professional before discontinuing prescription medication. Abruptly stopping taking blood pressure medication can have side effects and serious health risks, per the American Heart Association.
This is the second recall of a commonly-prescribed blood pressure medication to occur in less than a year.
In October 2025, more than half a million bottles of prazosin hydrochloride were recalled over concerns that the capsules contained unsafe levels of cancer-causing chemicals.

chlorthalidone? Sounds like an insecticide.
It may be!
Lisinopril, another common blood pressure drug, is rattlesnake poison!
And Warfarin, and anticoagulant is rat poison!...........
This is a major problem in poor countries.
Here in the Philippines, a lot of medicine are these generics because they are cheap. But the middle class go to pharmacies that certify medicines that come from reliable countries.
And that’s 100% reliable!...............🤔
I hear it was recalled because people’s blood pressure was raised when they couldn’t open the cap.
Lisinopril sent me to the ER after taking it for just three days.....how that sht is allowed to be on the market is criminal as far as I’m concerned.
Close, its origin is the Brazilian pit viper.
Same family.
Reminds me of an old Lone Ranger joke...........😆
I took it for years and no side effects, until it stopped working, which happens with BP meds............
Think....bribes to politicians.....voila
Some people are violently allergic to penicillin and its relatives.
Shall we ban that “sht” from the market as well?
My brother had been taking Lisinopril for years. In January he had an anaphylactic reaction to it shortly after taking his dose. Would up in ICU on a ventilator. Got an infection and we surmise that he was given the wrong saline solution in combination with the antibiotic. This destroyed his liver and he wound up on the transplant list. He has finally begun to get better after the transplant.
Lisinopril.
<<<<”.... that come from reliable countries.”>>>>>
USA is the only one reliable country. No others.
You went through what I did you might change your tune
Strychnine was historically used as a medication to treat various conditions, including nerve paralysis and muscle fatigue, by stimulating the nervous system and enhancing muscle activity.
Curare, from poison frogs, is used as a muscle relaxant.............
Thanks to all posters. Health / life BUMP.
LOL! I was thinking the exact same thing!
