Parents are being urged to check whether their children are among thousands prescribed a liquid antibiotic in which glass fragments have been found in two bottles.
It urges anyone prescribed amoxicillin liquid to check whether it is of the Actavis brand and, if so, to stop using it and contact their GP or the pharmacist who dispensed it, for a replacement.
Actavis amoxicillin liquid is packaged in glass bottles and available in two strengths - 125mg/5ml and 250mg/5ml.
The medicine is a frequently-prescribed antibiotic, often used to treat children for glue ear, chest, skin and urinary tract infections.
It is also used for other less common conditions.作者: 雪儿飘飘 时间: 2014-7-23 18:40:23
