| The United Kingdom: Class 2 Medicines Recall: Tillomed Laboratories Limited, Labetalol 200mg Tablets |
| |
Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) announces that Tillomed Laboratories Limited is recalling one batch of Labetalol 200mg Tablets (batch number: 240537) as a precautionary measure due to potential mix-up at the manufacturing site. Please note this is a Class 2 Patient, Pharmacy and Wholesaler level recall.
A limited number of Labetalol 200mg Tablets (batch number: 240537) cartons may contain a blister strip of Vera-Til SR 240mg Tablets (verapamil) (batch number: 240750) with the blister strips of Labetalol 200mg Tablets. Both products were manufactured at the same manufacturing site and the error appears to have occurred during secondary packaging of the blister strips into the cartons.
Tillomed Laboratories have received market complaints where a blister strip of Vera-Til SR 240mg Tablets (batch number: 240750) was found with the blister strips of Labetalol 200mg Tablets (batch number: 240537). There have been no other similar reports related to this batch, since the batch was first distributed in May 2024. This means that a limited number of packs could contain the incorrect medicine, therefore the product is being recalled as a precautionary measure.
