⚠️ Medication Recall Notice – Ramipril 5mg Capsules (UK)
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued a precautionary recall of one batch of Ramipril 5mg capsules in the UK.
🔎 Affected batch:
• Batch number: GR164099
• Expiry date: October 2026
This recall has been issued because some packs labelled Ramipril 5mg capsules may incorrectly contain Amlodipine 5mg tablets due to a packaging error during manufacturing. (GOV.UK)
✅ What patients should do:
1️⃣ Check the batch number on the outer box of your Ramipril.
2️⃣ If your batch is GR164099, open the box and check the blister strips.
3️⃣ If the blister strips say Amlodipine, contact your pharmacy immediately for advice and a replacement.
✔️ If the blister strips correctly say Ramipril, no further action is required.
💡 Both medications are used to treat high blood pressure, but if the wrong medication has been taken you may experience symptoms such as dizziness or light-headedness due to lower blood pressure.
📞 If you are unsure or feel unwell, please contact your pharmacist, GP, or NHS 111 for advice.
