Teva Pharmaceuticals said it has launched a voluntary recall into two drugs used to treat high blood pressure over concerns that they’re contaminated with cancer-producing carcinogens.

Teva is recalling all lots of Amlodipine-Valsartan combination tables and Amlodipine-Valsartan-Hydrochlorothiazide tablets due to impurities detected. They were manufactured by Mylan India.
