Metformin Recall Lawsuit

What does FDA say about metformin?

"The issue is not metformin or any existing connections between cancer and drugs," argues Nosova, "bubutt rather, as recognized in the FDA List, the manufacturing technique used at some manufacturers."

Partial recalls have been made of other medicines such as blood pressure medicines and antiacids.

To those who take Metformin ER,  type in " metformin" into the search field, on the FDA Recalls, Market Withdrawals & Safety Alerts Site to to make sure that the product you are taking are not among the affected ones.

Either way, you can ask your pharmacist for recommendations.

As Nathan Painter, a Clinical Professor at the Université de California, San Diego Skaggs School for Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science, explained: "It is the pharmacist's obligation to take this medicine back and administer it with another one."

"There are metformin versions which no longer are impacted by the recall. If there are no options, call your doctor to discuss the different options to recommend."
