The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has issued a precautionary recall of blood pressure medication (Crescent Pharma Limited Ramipril 2.5mg capsules) after a packaging error.
Crescent Pharma Limited is recalling one batch of Ramipril 2.5mg capsules as a precautionary measure due to a packaging error which may mean some cartons contain blister strips of a higher dose, specifically Ramipril 10mg.
This follows a complaint which identified that, inside a sealed carton of Crescent Pharma Limited Ramipril 2.5mg capsules, two blister strips of Ramipril 10mg capsules were found by a healthcare professional. Both product batches were manufactured at the same site, and the error appears to have occurred during packaging of the cartons.
Patients taking Crescent Pharma Limited Ramipril 2.5mg capsules, and those assisting them, are advised to check their packaging for batch number GR155023 and contact their pharmacy if any blister strips inside are labelled as Ramipril 10mg.
