Boots UK has initiated a recall
of a number of its cough & cold
products in association with the
UK’s Medicines and Healthcare
products Regulatory Agency, due to
potential contamination issues.
Patients are being asked to return
specific cough and cold medicines
purchased since Sep 2013.

in bottles. There is currently no
evidence that people have had any
problems with these medicines.”The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 16 Dec 13 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 16 Dec 13
