Have this medicine at home? Compare the lot number and expiry date on your package with the recall. Do not stop taking a prescribed medicine on your own — stopping suddenly can be riskier than the recalled lot. Your pharmacist can check it and usually swap it for an unaffected one.

What the recall classes mean

  • Class I Most serious: use could cause serious health problems or death.
  • Class II Could cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; serious harm is unlikely.
  • Class III Not likely to cause health problems — for example a labelling or packaging fault.
