PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Some heart medicine is getting pulled off shelves because of cancer concerns. The drugmaker Aurobindo is pulling 80 lots of the blood pressure medicine Valsartan.
It might contain small amounts of a chemical linked to cancer.
The FDA says if you take the drug, continue to do so until you speak with your doctor about a substitute.
