Canadian Version of Asthma Medication Recalled |
|||
|
November 15, 2003
GlaxoSmithKline is recalling certain Canadian batches of three common asthma medications because they may not administer the correct dose of the drug into the patient's lungs. The drugs in question are the diskus versions of Ventolin, Flovent and Serevent -- not the metered-dose inhaler or spray form. The company said that a manufacturing error in France caused the problem. Canadian versions of the drugs comoe from the French plant, whereas U.S. versions come from a GlaxoSmithKline plant in Great Britain. Anyone who bought asthma medication from a Web site or from someone who imports Canadian medications should be sure to check the recalled batch numbers:
As a precaution, consumers who have these DISKUS inhalation devices are advised to return the products to their pharmacist for replacement. Individuals who are experiencing increasing symptoms should consult with their physicians as soon as possible. Patients who encounter serious difficulty in breathing should dial 911 immediately. |
