All 50-packs of the drug with batch number 5R02514 are affected. “As a precautionary measure, we have recalled a batch of Ibuflam 600 mg Lichtenstein film-coated tablets from wholesalers and pharmacists in coordination with the responsible regulatory authority,” said a spokeswoman for Zentiva when asked about Bild.

The recall campaign is not aimed directly at patients, she explained. Returns are currently being processed through wholesalers, as Apotheke Adhoc reports. Merkur also reports that pharmacies now have to check their inventory so that none of the affected packs go on sale.
