Walgreens changed suppliers--my latest metformin looks different.
Some metformin being recalled
The FDA is telling five drugmakers to recall versions of metformin after laboratory tests found elevated levels of N-Nitrosodimethylamine, the chemical that was found in dozens of shipments of blood pressure and heartburn drugs last year, triggering recalls of those medications.
Of course, keep taking these versions of metformin if you have them; going without it is a much higher health risk than the presence of the contaminant. But it might be good to know that some supplies may be recalled. The linked article has more details.
