Wrong Pills in Heart Med Pack!

A significant product recall has been announced concerning Ramipril 5mg capsules, a medication for high blood pressure. The recall was initiated by the supermarket's pharmacy in collaboration with the drug's manufacturer, Crescent Pharma Limited, as a precautionary measure.

This action follows the discovery of a packaging mistake where a specific batch was filled with Amlodipine 5mg tablets instead of the correct Ramipril 5mg capsules. The affected batch is identified by the code GR164099, and consumers are strongly urged to cease using the medication if they have purchased this batch.

Both Ramipril and Amlodipine are used to manage high blood pressure. However, taking the incorrect medication could lead to adverse effects such as dizziness or unusually low blood pressure. Customers with concerns are advised to consult their healthcare provider. The supermarket has confirmed that no other Ramipril 5mg capsules or related products are involved in this recall.

Individuals possessing the affected Ramipril 5mg capsules with batch code GR164099 are instructed not to consume them. They can return the product to any Tesco Pharmacy for a complete refund. Further details are available on the government website, and consumers can contact Crescent Pharma Limited via email at medinfo@crescentpharma.com or safety@crescentpharma.com, or by telephone at 01217 901596 for additional assistance.
