The Medicines and Health products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) on Tuesday (September 29) issued a class three medicines recall for AlfaD capsules of Theramex.
The recall follows a communication MHRA received from Theramex on an issue related to an error in the decommissioning of the drug batches.
“Upon decommissioning at the pharmacy and when scanning the serialised 2D code, the status of packs may report as ‘EXPORT’, although there is no risk to product quality, any remaining stock should be quarantined and returned,” the MHRA has said.
