MAR-Amlodipine 5 mg recalled — some bottles contain midodrine instead

Marcan Pharmaceuticals recalled two lots of MAR-Amlodipine 5 mg (DIN 02371715, lots 2472021 and 2472021A, exp. July 2027) because some bottles may contain midodrine 2.5 mg tablets instead of amlodipine. Visually verify tablets before dispensing and pull affected stock — correct amlodipine is white/off-white, 8-sided, marked "210"/"5"; the wrong midodrine is round, white, marked "M2". The mix-up can cause dangerous blood-pressure changes, fainting, and organ damage.
