Question: can blood pressure medications cause cancer?
Answer: NMBA is a "potential human carcinogen," the FDA says. The recall comes amid a larger string of recalls of blood pressure medications valsartan, losartan and irbesartan that contain trace levels of carcinogens NMBA, N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-Nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), the FDA says.
