Ulsal lösliche Tabletten
The marketing authorisation holder informed its customers on October 24, 2019 that a review of ranitidine medicines after tests showed that below mentioned batches may contain an impurity called N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).
NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen (a substance that could cause cancer) and therefore "Ulsal 300 mg lösliche Tabletten" are recalled as a precautionary measure.
Other Ulsal products (Ulsal Brausetabletten, Ulsal Filmtabletten, Ulsal Ampullen) are not affected by the recall at the moment.
Please see further information on the BASG-website referring to "Review ranitidine medicines following detection of NDMA".
