ASCENT Pharmaceuticals, in
consultation with the Therapeutic
Goods Administration, is recalling
one batch of Febridol Paracetamol
500mg 100 tablet bottles.
The offending batch is number
ACN2134, expiry date August 2014
supplied in NSW & ACT.
The recall is because the batch
may contain a foreign tablet that is
triangular and peach in colour, with
the manufacturer undertaking an
investigation to identify the peachcoloured
tablet.
Pharmacies and wholesalers are
being asked to inspect their stocks
to see if they are from the affected
batch, and if any such products are
found they should be quarantined
and returned to Ascent.
Consumers with queries are also
being referred to their pharmacist
or told to call 1800 678 302.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 26 Jul 13 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 26 Jul 13
