Description
Tillomed Laboratories Limited is recalling one batch of Labetalol 200mg Tablets as a precautionary measure due to potential mix-up at the manufacturing site. Please note this is a Class 2 Patient, Pharmacy and Wholesaler level recall. A limited number of Labetalol 200mg Tablets (Batch Number 240537) cartons may contain a blister strip of Vera-Til SR 240mg Tablets, (verapamil), PL 11311/0078 (Batch Number 240750) with the blister strips of Labetalol 200mg Tablets. Both products were manufactured at the same manufacturing site and the error appears to have occurred during secondary packaging of the blister strips into the cartons.
Tillomed Laboratories have received one single market complaint where a blister strip of Vera-Til SR 240mg Tablets (Batch Number 240750) was found with the blister strips of Labetalol 200mg Tablets (Batch Number 240537). There have been no other similar reports related to this batch, since the batch was first distributed in May 2024.This means that a limited number of packs could contain the incorrect medicine, therefore the product is being recalled as a precautionary measure.
