THE TGA has issued a recall order
for Aspen Pharma’s Serenace 0.5mg
tablets (containing haloperidol)
batch number BJ431.
The recall is being conducted
because the manufacturer has
received reports of tablets from
the affected batch with black spots
identified as penicillium species.
The order has been classified as
Class I meaning that the defects
are potentially life-threatening or
could cause a serious risk to health.
Patients are being advised not to
use the affected batch, but to
return it to their local pharmacy
and arrange for a replacement.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 19 Sep 12 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 19 Sep 12
