A combined 135 batches of capsules are being pulled back from consumers because the flawed medication could lead to cardiac arrest, according to officials.

Glenmark Pharmaceuticals recalled 114 batches of potassium chloride extended-release capsules and American Health Packaging — on behalf of BluePoint Laboratories — recalled 21 batches of the same capsules last week.

The voluntary recall was issued because of the failed dissolution of the capsules, which could possibly lead to high potassium levels also known as hyperkalemia, according to the companies’ announcements posted by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Frances Ivy-Marie wasn't taken seriously during her first pregnancy, so the second time around, she found a physician that would listen. When Frances Ivy-Marie was pregnant the first time around, she was all too aware of the fact that Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy complications than white women. She tried explaining her concerns to her physician — but he wouldn't listen. "My prenatal checkups consisted of me trying to explain that I'm a Black woman, and even if everything is perfect on paper, I can still go to the hospital and pass away because people aren't listening." Her doctor tried to convince her that she had nothing to worry about, but ultimately that just left her feeling invalidated. Frances tried to look for a new physician that would listen to her concerns. However, she lived in a rural area of Kentucky at the time, and there wasn't a Black physician taking new patients within three hours of where she lived.
