DRUG RECALL: Tegretol Retard (carbamazepine) 400mg tablets (parallel import) (18 January 2006)

Polyfarma Ltd is recalling two batches of Tegretol Retard (carbamazepine) 400mg tablets because the blister strips inside the carton are incorrectly overlabelled as Tegretol in place of Tegretol Retard. There are no errors in the carton labelling.

The SPC for Tegretol Retard states that it is not recommended for children under 5 years and highlights several other concerns in switching patients between these formulations.

Recipients are requested to quarantine any remaining stock and return it to their supplier for credit.
