Alert details

Teva UK Limited has notified MHRA of a printing error on some blisters of Pregabalin 75mg capsules from the above batch.

The strength is printed in several positions on the foil lid of the blisters. For affected units, the strength is printed incorrectly, as 25mg instead of 75mg, in one position on the foil. The strength is printed correctly in the remaining positions on the foil. The strength is stated correctly on carton labels and in the patient information leaflet. Approximately 1 in 3 blisters are affected by this issue, hence the majority of cartons from this batch are likely to contain 1 or 2 affected blisters.

To ensure continuity of supply, affected stock will not be recalled. No further stock with this error will be released to the market, however.
