Popular Children's Cold Remedy Recalled
| Published: 16th December 2013 11:06 |
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued a Drug Alert recalling certain batches of Novartis Consumer Health UK Ltd's Tixylix cough and cold medicines from consumers.
This is because Novartis Consumer Health Ltd have been made aware of a possible fault in the manufacturing process of the tamper seal that might result in small pieces of plastic being found in the liquid medicines.
There is currently no evidence of people having problems as a result of this manufacturing fault but they are being asked to return the following medicines as a precautionary measure.
Adam Burgess, the MHRA's Head of Defective Medicines Reporting Centre (DMRC), said:
"This is a precautionary recall and there is currently no evidence that people have had any problems with these medicines.
"If people have bought Tixylix we ask that they check the batch number on the bottle label next to the expiry date to see if it is one of the batches being recalled. If anyone has an affected batch they should return it to the place of purchase for a refund. If people do have any questions they can contact Novartis on 0800 854 100 or visit www.tixylix.co.uk "
