The ETHEX Corporation has recently pulled many of its pharmaceutical products off the market after it was discovered that they may lead to overdoses in patients as a result of oversized pills.

The drugs recalled by ETHEX include:

• Morphine Recall: Morphine Sulfate Extended Release Tablets, 15 mg
  
• Morphine Recall: Morphine Sulfate Immediate Release Tablets, 15 mg, 30 mg
  
• Dextroamphetamine Recall: Dextroamphetamine Sulfate Tablets, 10 mg
  
• Propafenone Recall: Propafenone HCl Tablets, 150 mg, 225 mg, 300 mg
  
• Isosorbide Recall: Isosorbide Mononitrate Extended Release Tablets, 30 mg, 60 mg
  

The Morphine Sulfate Extended Release pills have led to respiratory depression (in severe cases, breathing has stopped completely) and extremely low blood pressure in patients who received an overdose.

The consequences of an overdose on the Propafenone Hydrochloride pills have been life threatening. Patients have experienced heart arrhythmias and very low blood pressure. Overdosing on the Dextroamphetamine Sulfate pills has caused rapid heart rate and extremely high blood pressure. Isosorbide Mononitrate has caused fainting and low blood pressure.

If you have been taking any of these recalled drugs, stop immediately. If you have experienced any of the above-mentioned symptoms, consult your doctor at once. You should also call the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at 1-800-FDA-1088 to speak with their MedWatch Program, which is collecting information about the side effects of these recalled drugs.

It is also important to consult an experienced defective drug attorney. If you have suffered any of these adverse side effects, you may be able to file a personal injury law suit against ETHEX to receive compensation for any unnecessary suffering you have experienced due to their defective drugs.
