Product Notice: Various Children’s Blackcurrant Cough Syrup
The following notice has been issued by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency:
People should check bottles of some own-brand children’s blackcurrant cough syrup to see if they need a replacement.
A problem with one of the ingredients in these medicines has been identified which could cause them to allow mould to grow. There is a low risk that the mould could make the child unwell or cause a reaction, although to date we are not aware of any cases where this has happened. As a precaution it has been decided to recall affected batches.
Only a small number of batches from 8 different products are being recalled. No other cough syrups are affected.
