Description
Kent Pharma UK is recalling the above batches of Itraconazole 10mg/ml Oral Solution as a precautionary measure due to out of specification in the appearance of the solution, particularly the presence of suspended particles or clusters of crystals. Initial investigations indicate that this is a solubilisation issue of the active ingredient for the above batches. This means that there is the potential for some doses to have lower active ingredient (itraconazole) in solution. The root cause of this issue is under investigation, but based on the potential for underdosage, the impacted batches are being recalled as a precautionary measure.
