New: Chlorthalidone 25mg recall (Class II, 11,460 bottles, dissolution failure, specific NDC/batch numbers) – minor addition for diuretic safety. New: Omnitrope (somatropin) injectable HGH recall – Sandoz Canada, cartridges cracking/leaking, lots PR7350/PR7351, risk of contamination and underdosing. New: CDC warns of medetomidine as emerging drug safety signal – veterinary sedative found in illicit drug supply, causing severe sedation and respiratory depression.

New: RFK Jr.-stacked FDA panel approves peptides over scientists' objections – six of eight appointees sell peptides, conflict of interest. New: Ascend Laboratories recalls amlodipine/olmesartan 10/20 mg (6,192 bottles, dissolution failure, lot 25121311) – third such recall in a year, raises manufacturing quality concerns.
