Everything You Need to Know About Making an Irbesartan Recall Claim

It seems like multiple times a year, there is a new medication being recalled. This is distressing because it is something that affects our health. The newest one is the blood pressure medication made by Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

When you hear about a medication recall, your first instinct is probably to panic. However, you should not immediately stop taking your medication as that can cause even more problems. Instead, reach out to your doctor to see what they advise.

Generally, in a case like this, you can get compensation, a repair, or your product replaced. This process can be extremely long and tedious. However, if you reach out to DoNotPay, we can handle the recall process for you.

How Do I Make a Claim for the Irbesartan Recall?

There is a specific process to follow to make a claim on the .

Replacement
  1. To determine if your prescription is part of the recall, you need to look at the product name, brand, and date of purchase. It must be called Irbesartan, made by Lupin, and ordered from October 8, 2018, to September 30, 2021.
  2. If your prescription of Irbesartan is part of the recall, you can reach out to your pharmacy to get an early refill that is not a part of the impacted batch.
  3. DO NOT immediately stop taking your medication. Instead, talk to your doctor to see your next steps.
Reimbursement

This whole process can be a frustrating one. You have to start by figuring out whether or not you are even impacted by the recall and then deal with getting a replacement or reimbursement on your own.

What Happened With the Irbesartan Recall?

Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is voluntarily recalling their blood pressure medication, Irbesartan because they found a recent batch to have unacceptable levels of the impurity N-nitrosoirbesartan. This is a carcinogen that can be linked to cancer if taken over a long period of time.

Four people have reported sickness after taking Irbesartan, so the company is recalling it out of an abundance of caution. Anyone who received Irbesartan from Lupin between October 8, 2018, and September 30, 2021, is a part of the recall.
