AMCo is recalling listed batches of Maxolon 5mg/ml solution for injection, 2ml ampoules (metoclopramide).
The outer carton incorrectly states "administer prescribed dose either intramuscularly or by slow intravenous injection (1-2 minutes)". The correct instruction is that the intravenous injection should be administered over at least three minutes and is given in the patient information leaflet and the Summary of Product Characteristics.
Pharmacists are asked to return any stock of the listed batches to the supplying wholesaler.
