What Patients Should Do
If you take prazosin, experts strongly advise not to panic. Most importantly, do not stop the medication suddenly, as abrupt discontinuation can cause dangerous spikes in blood pressure.
Instead, patients are advised to:
- Check the label and lot number on their bottle
- Confirm with a pharmacist or doctor whether their batch is affected
- Avoid discarding medication without medical guidance
- Monitor any unusual symptoms and report them
- Stay calm, as the overall risk remains low
Teva has already notified pharmacies and distributors and continues working with regulators. Patients can also contact their pharmacy or the FDA MedWatch program for guidance.
