Cancer Causing Chemical in Blood Pressure Pills

June 21, 2019 by Rachel Minyard

Another cancer-causing chemical has been found in a pill, according to a petition submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. PersonalInjury.com reports the online pharmacy Valisure has discovered the chemical in blood-pressure pills made by companies like Novartis.

The petition submitted to the FDA in June says a high level of DMF was found in the pill, valsartan. DMF is a solvent that was classified as a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization, as reported by CBSNews.com.

* In most jurisdictions, a law firm can recover finance charges related to funding case expenses from case awards, but the compliance requirements can be too expensive to implement. Only Advocate Capital, Inc. has the proprietary AdvoTrac^® expense tracking system and service team that allows firms to easily comply with allocation and reporting requirements. So, for example, if a firm recovers at least 90% of its advanced case expenses, like most of our clients, the annual net cost of funds is very small-typically less than 1%.
