I take Telmavas-80 which is manufacured by German Remedies Pharma which is a wholy owned subsidiary or Zydus Healthcare Limited. 80mg started to make me woozy in the a.m. so I cut them in half which still keeps my SBP is reliably under 120. Formerly, I was taking a generic prescribed by my PCP which was made in China. I wasn’t crazy about that having read some chilling tales about Chinese meds so I switched.

Yes, BP (and PPI) meds and generics have been in the news for cancer causing impurities. I suppose Chinese meds may be particularly tricky, but frankly they all have potential to be dodgy insofar as almost everyone sources ingredients in China anyhow.

My Mankind Telmikind tablets are pink colored, scored, ~9 mm diameter (I’m not where I can measure). Sandooz and most of the others I have seen are white and oval. Not necessarily meaningful I guess but it made me wonder.
I would be more concerned with APIs originating in India than ones coming from China.

I was less fearful because I already take a couple of other Zydus drugs, one is trazodone, the other I forget the name of … maybe rapa something.
