MHRA recalls Ramipril 10mg batch over packaging error
Dispensers must block Ramipril batch GR174091 from supply immediately
Change
UK's MHRA issued a Class 2 recall for Ramipril 10mg batch GR174091 after some cartons may contain Ramipril 5mg blister strips.
Why it matters
The packaging error can place lower-strength medicine inside 10mg cartons. Pharmacies must stop supply and return remaining stock to suppliers. Patients with batch GR174091 should verify pack contents against carton labelling.
Implications
- — Dispensing teams must quarantine batch GR174091 - supply risks giving patients the wrong Ramipril strength.
- — Inventory teams must inspect affected cartons against blister labels - mismatched packs require pharmacy escalation.
- — Pharmacy returns teams must return remaining batch GR174091 stock - retained packs keep wrong-strength exposure live.
