|
Broadcast content: |
|
Crescent Pharma Ltd and
Flamingo Pharma (UK) Ltd have informed us that the Patient Information Leaflet
(PIL) within their packs for the above pharmacy (P) batches is incorrect. When dispensing or providing this product over the counter, please
check the Marketing Authorisation Holder and the batch number; if any of the
above batch numbers are being dispensed, ensure that patients are aware of the
correct dosage instructions and maximum daily dose as stated on the carton
labelling.- Correct statement: The maximum daily dose should
not be more than 3 [three] tablets (1200 mg).
Where possible, these packs should be considered to be dispensed
against a prescription rather than sold over the counter to safeguard patients
from taking a prescription only dose. Full details of the drug alert are included in the attached PDF file. Please forward to listed recipients. This information is also published on the MHRA website https://www.gov.uk/drug-device-alerts.
