(Canonsburg, PA) — The drugmaker Mylan is recalling all lots of a blood pressure medication. The recall affects the drug valsartan. It’s believed some products containing the drug have traces of a possible carcinogen. Mylan says patients who are on valsartan should continue taking it for now, because the risk of not taking it may be higher without an alternative drug. The drugmaker says patients should consult with their doctors before switching medications.
