Flexitone tablets

Medicine recall
Published
Level: Consumer
Class: I
Reference: R2003/795
Date agreed: 04 August 2003
Product: Flexitone tablets
ARTG number: AUST L 70700
Batch number: 3156
Expiry 07/06
Sponsor: Nutrition Care Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd

Reason: This batch was formulated with the wrong active ingredient. The Oleoresin has been found to be of capsicum origin rather than Bosellia origin. The product thus has the potential to cause gastric irritation and burning.
Recall notices will appear on Tuesday 5 August 2003 in the daily print media of those regions where product has not been recovered: The Age, The Herald-Sun, The Hobart Mercury, The Western Australian & Cairns Post.

Classification system:

Class I defects are potentially life-threatening or could cause a serious risk to health.

Class II defects could cause illness or mistreatment, but are not Class I.
