❗Do you take MAR-Amlodipine 5 mg tablets? Health Canada has issued an advisory because some bottles may contain the wrong tablets.
The correct tablets are off-white and have 8 sides. The wrong tablets are round and white. See the image below.
If your bottle contains any unusual tablets or if you are unsure, return it to your pharmacy.
If you are unable to get a replacement immediately, continue taking your medication as directed but do not take the round tablets.
Contact your health care professional or call 911 if you are dizzy, have unusually high blood pressure or slow heartbeats.
Seek immediate medical attention if you have chest pain, a sudden headache, an inability to move or feel a part of your body, or impaired speech.
