Recall | Medicines | 13/10/2014

In a letter dated October 8, 2014, the distribution company informed its supplied customers that there is a possibility of crystals forming if the enclosed diluent of batch AHZW/1 is stored at 2 to 8°C. The diluent was used for the production of this diluent batch. The observed crystals are probably impurities of a polysorbate (Tween) 80 batch used for the production of this diluent batch. The affected diluent batch was again packaged in the two finished product batches listed above, therefore a voluntary recall was issued.
