Pharmacy and Poisons Board recalls S-PRAZO drug manufactured by Laborate Pharmaceutical India Limited.
The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) has recalled the S-PRAZO (Esomeprazole Magnesium Delayed-Release Capsules 40mg) Batch No SPZ-302 which is manufactured by Laborate Pharmaceutical India Limited.
In a statement on Tuesday, August 20, PPB noted that it recalled the product after complaints of a mix-up of striper strips, and some boxes were found to contain two different strips.
“The product batch is being recalled following a market complaint regarding mix-up of blister strips; some boxes were found to contain two different blister strips, i.e. S-Prazo Capsules and Donystatin Tablets, within the same outer carton,” read the statement in part.
The board urged health facilities, pharmaceutical outlets, and members of the public to stop using the capsules and return them to respective suppliers of the nearest healthcare facility.
