⚠️ Medicines recall: Ramipril 5 mg Capsules (Crescent Pharma Limited)

One batch of Ramipril 5 mg Capsules is being recalled as a precaution after a packaging error.

This follows reports from a pharmacy that a pack labelled Ramipril 5 mg Capsules (Batch GR164099) incorrectly contained blister strips of Amlodipine 5 mg Tablets inside the sealed carton.

If you take Ramipril, check the packaging of your medicine for batch number GR164099. If your pack contains blister strips labelled “Amlodipine”, return it to your pharmacist.

The risk to patients of the accidental substitution of one widely used blood pressure medication for another is low. The most likely side effect would be dizziness related to low blood pressure.

If you have concerns about your medication or experience any suspected side effects, speak to your pharmacist or another healthcare professional. Patients and healthcare professionals can also report suspected side effects via our Yellow Card scheme.

Even small babies can suddenly start to roll. And they don’t have to fall far to suffer a serious head injury.

Their heads are much heavier than their bodies, which makes them top-heavy. And when they land, their head takes much of the impact.

That’s why it’s so important to learn the risks and the simple things we can do to keep them safe from serious falls.

Great advice

Reading at home is incredibly valuable. That one on one time snuggled up with a book is something all parents miss when their children grow up!
