FDA Recalls Generic Allergy Medication Due to Ranitidine Contamination

The Food and Drug Administration has issued a nationwide recall for certain batches of generic Cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, commonly known as generic Zyrtec. This action stems from a risk of cross-contamination with ranitidine, which could trigger severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. The voluntary recall was initiated by the manufacturer to ensure public safety.
