The Potassium Chloride Recall: What You Need to Know

Glenmark Pharmaceuticals and American Health Packaging recently recalled 135 batches of extended-release potassium chloride capsules. The recalls stem from concerns about the improper dissolution of the capsules.

Instead of releasing limited amounts of potassium chloride over several hours, the defective drugs release the mineral too quickly, causing dangerous and potentially fatal spikes in blood potassium levels.

Key points about the potassium chloride recall:

• Glenmark Pharmaceuticals recalled 114 batches on June 26, 2024
• American Health Packaging recalled 21 batches of BluePoint Laboratories brand capsules made by Glenmark
• At least two deaths have been linked to these defective medications

Bailey & Galyen’s team of results-driven personal injury attorneys is ready to advocate for you. We’ll cut through the legal complexities, allowing you to focus on your health and recovery while we pursue the compensation you deserve.

The Risks of Potassium Chloride Extended-Release Capsules

Potassium chloride is a medication prescribed to treat hypokalemia, or low potassium levels in the blood. While it’s essential for many patients, the recalled extended-release capsules pose significant dangers:

1. Rapid dissolution: The defective capsules may release potassium too quickly, causing a sudden spike in blood potassium levels.
2. Hyperkalemia: Excessive potassium in the blood can lead to this potentially life-threatening condition.
3. Heart complications: High potassium levels can disrupt heart function, leading to arrhythmias or even cardiac arrest.

Symptoms of High Blood Potassium

Hyperkalemia, a potentially life-threatening condition caused by excessive potassium in the blood, can strike quickly and with little warning. Anyone who takes prescription potassium chloride in an extended-release form and experiences the symptoms of hyperkalemia should seek medical care right away. Symptoms include:

• Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)
• Muscle weakness or fatigue
• Numbness or tingling sensations
• Nausea or vomiting
• Chest pain or discomfort
• Difficulty breathing
• Muscle pain
• Sudden collapse
