• MHRA ref: DMRC-35139406

Reason: Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Europe Ltd is recalling a specific batch of Omeprazole Oral Solution as a precautionary measure due to an investigation following a customer complaint indicating precipitation and discoloration of the product in the bottles. A root cause has identified that this is a result of an inadequate assembly of the plunger stem and the cup which could lead to a premature mixing of the two components of the medicinal product.

Please can you ensure that your stores quarantine the product listed below.
