Caution in use notification: Rivotril 1mg/ml ampoules (10 June 2006)

Roche has issued a caution in use notification for Rivotril (clonazepam) injection 1mg/ml ampoules because of a packaging error affecting two batches. On the back panel of the carton, under “Each active ampoule contains” the text reads “1 g/ml clonazepam”. The text should read “1mg/ml clonazepam”. The contents of the ampoules are unaffected and all other references to the strength of the medicine on the carton, ampoule labels and patient information leaflets are correct.

Because there is no replacement stock currently available, Roche is recommending that existing stock still be used in conjunction with the caution in use notification. Queries can be directed to Roche medical information on 01748 828856.
