MHRA Alert - November 2011
Further to a previous drug alert last week regarding a mislabelled pre-filled syringe, Aurum Pharmaceuticals Limited (trading as Martindale Pharma) has identified a second similar error within a batch of a different product.
Since similar findings cannot be ruled out for other batches of Aurum pre-filled syringe products, including Naloxone, recipients are asked to inspect their stocks of these products packed in yellow plastic printed boxes as a precautionary measure.
