AFT Pharmaceuticals, in consultation with the TGA, is recalling four batches of Lax-Sachets due to an error in the dosage/administration instructions printed on the back of the sachets.
Affected batch numbers are 7229215, 7229216, 7229217 and 7229219.
The incorrect directions read 'Each sachet should be dissolved in 1 litre of water' although the TGA said correct information was provided on both the product carton and the pack insert.
The instructions should be 'Each sachet should be dissolved in 125 mL water. For use in faecal impaction 8 sachets may be dissolved in 1 litre of water.'
