| |
The Department of Health (DH) today (October 7) endorsed a licensed drug wholesaler, Trenton-Boma Ltd (T-Boma), to recall one batch (batch number: 470882) of PMS-Zopiclone 7.5mg tablets (registration number: HK-49865) at retailer level due to a quality issue.
The DH has noted that the Canadian drug regulatory authority announced today on the recall of 4 batches of PMS-Zopiclone 7.5mg tablets due to potential oversized tablets that exceed the recommended daily dose of 7.5mg could be found in the affected batches. As a precautionary measure, T-Boma is recalling the affected batch from the market.
According to T-Boma, only one affected batch of 250 bottles of 500 tablets has been imported and has been supplied to private doctors and pharmacies since April 2013. DH will closely monitor the recall.
PMS-Zopiclone 7.5mg tablets, containing zopiclone, is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of insomnia.
So far, the DH has not received any adverse reports in connection with the concerned product. T-Boma has set up a hotline (81012716) to answer related enquiries.
