MasterPharm, LLC, has recalled a hair loss drug called Finasteride Plus 1.25mg. The warning label on the container provides no warning of the presence of minoxidil found in the capsules.

Minoxidil is an antihypertensive drug that could cause low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and retention of water and salt in the body, which causes swelling. These issues could result in heart failure or other heart complications. The amount of minoxidil found in these Finasteride capsules exceeds FDA regulations.
