Description
Some batches of Gentamicin Sulphate Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) used to manufacture several products may contain higher than expected levels of histamine, which is a residual from the manufacturing process. Batches of API produced between the second half of 2014 and June 2017 are potentially affected. A recall is not considered appropriate at this stage.
