This stems from a potential contamination issue in the manufacturing process. As a result, valsartan that\u2019s supplied by Actavis Group PTC (now Accord) and Dexcel Pharma Ltd is now subject to a recall.<\/p>\n<p>The potential contamination issue could be incredibly serous for anyone that\u2019s affected by it. In America, there are already class actions and group cases for people who have taken the drug.

This relates to potential NDMA contamination which may lead to valsartan side effects that are beyond what\u2019s already known and accepted.<\/p>\n<p>NDMA (nitrosodimethylamine) can be both carcinogenic and genotoxic. Respectively, that means that people may be at risk of cancer or damage to cells. As such, this is a very serious issue.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Are you suffering with valsartan side effects?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re using \u2013 or have used \u2013 the drug, and you&#8217;ve experienced valsartan side effects that are beyond what may have been expected, we want to hear from you.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, always seek urgent medication attention if you\u2019re suffering problems. Follow the official advice that\u2019s been distributed in relation to the recall, and follow the advice given by healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n<p>If any side effects can be linked to the potential contamination issue, that\u2019s where we may be able to step in.<\/p>\n<h3>How we can help<\/h3>\n<p>With NDMA having links to cancer, this is a serious issue for anyone who has suffered as a result of possible contamination. You can speak to one of our senior members of the team for more tailored advice to see if we can help you in any way if you\u2019re a resident of England or Wales.
