Recall

Atenolol tablets

Sterwin Medicines has recalled the following batches of atenolol tablets, pack size 28, as a precautionary measure: 25mg, batch number A002, expiry date, February, 2003; 50mg batches A005, A006, A007, expiry date, January, 2003; 100mg batches A005, A006, expiry date, February, 2003 and A007, expiry date, March, 2003. This is because the company has received a report that a pack of atenolol tablets contained a patient information leaflet for Sterwin's cimetidine tablets. There is a possibility that further batches might be similarly affected. Recipients are requested to quarantine stock and return it to their supplier for credit. For further information contact the company's customer services (tel 01483 505515).
