PHARMACEUTICAL manufacturer Pharmacor in conjunction with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has issued a retail level recall notice for TRUST FENMOL (paracetamol 500mg ibuprofen 200mg tablet) blister pack with expiry date Jul 2020 and Batch Number: 7121909.
The TGA said in its release that while BN 7121909 complies with the relevant release specifications, "Pharmacor is conducting a recall of this product as a precaution, because a subsequent batch showed a low out of specification result (by 0.2%) for the active ingredient and the root cause has not been established to date".
"Therefore, while this product is being recalled from the market, this action is not safety related."
Pharmacor first identified the issue and reported to the TGA that 63 pharmacies and distributors in ACT, NSW, Qld, Vic and SA may be affected - the company will send letters to all affected customers within two working days.
