DEFECT INFORMATION
Description
Altan Pharma Limited have identified an error relating to the product packaging. The incorrect concentration of phenylephrine base is provided on the overwrapping bag label. • The label states that: 1 ml contains 0.08 mg of phenylephrine base. Each bag of 100 ml contains 10 mg of phenylephrine base that corresponds to 10 mg of phenylephrine hydrochloride. • However, the correct label should state: 1 ml contains 0.08 mg of phenylephrine base. Each bag of 100 ml contains 8 mg of phenylephrine base that corresponds to 10 mg of phenylephrine hydrochloride. Information on the product carton, bag label and SmPC remain correct, and this product is not being recalled.
