Sanofi-Aventis Singapore Pte Ltd is informing healthcare professionals that they will be adopting the French authorities' decision to contraindicate the use of Rhinathiol 2% Children and Infant syrup in children below 2 years of age. The local package insert for Rhinathiol 2% Children and Infant syrup will be updated to reflect this new contraindication. The packaging will subsequently be changed and renamed as Rhinathiol 2% Children Syrup. The new packaging with the revised package insert is estimated to be implemented in Singapore in February 2011.
