UPDATE (11 February 2005)
This notification applies to packs in both Ivax and Norton livery

IVAX Pharmaceuticals is recalling all batches of lorazepam tablets 1mg and 2.5mg, packs of 28 and 100, following concerns that the product may be sub-potent before the end of its shelf life. The products were first distributed in June 2002.

The company says there is no expected patient risk.
