Multiple drug companies have recalled their blood pressure and heart medication that contains Valsartan (a generic version of Diovan) after discovering that it might have become contaminated with a known cancer-causing substance called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).
Short-term exposure to NDMA can cause liver damage, including fibrosis and scarring. Long-term exposure can increase the risk of liver, kidney, and lung tumors.
Symptoms of NDMA exposure include the following:
• Headaches.
• Fever.
• Nausea.
• Jaundice.
• Vomiting.
• Abdominal cramps.
• Enlarged liver.
• Reduced function of the liver, kidneys, and lungs.
• Dizziness.
