DRUG RECALL: Ephedrine hydrochloride pre-filled syringe 3mg/ml (6 January 2006)

Aurum Pharmaceuticals Ltd is recalling one batch of ephedrine hydrochloride pre-filled syringes 3mg/ml due to the discovery of an ephedrine hydrochloride syringe in a plastic box erroneously identifies as atropine sulphate injection BP 3mg in 10ml, screen printed on the centre of the longest panel.
