Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients: Paracetamol 300 mg, Caffeine 25 mg and Phenylephrine hydrochloride 5 mg

Brief description of the problem

Perrigo are recalling the above batches of Cold & Flu Relief Capsules (GSL) – Various Liveries, due to an error on the leaflet and carton for the products as noted above. The leaflet and carton incorrectly states that for Adults, the elderly and children 12 years and over, the dose should be 2 capsules every 4 to 6 hours as required, up to a maximum of 12 capsules in any 24 hour period. The leaflet and carton dosage instructions are those which were in use prior to the paediatric paracetamol posology update implemented by the MHRA.

As each capsule contains 300mg of paracetamol, 12 capsules would equate to 3.6g/day. This exceeds the MHRA recommended maximum dose for 12-15 year old's, which is 3g/day.

The correct posology instructions should state the following:

  • Adults and children 16 years and over: 2 capsules every 4 to 6 hours as required, up to a maximum of 12 capsules (6 doses) in any 24 hour period.
  • Children aged 12 to 15 years: 2 capsules every 4 to 6 hours as required, up to a maximum of 8 capsules (4 doses) in any 24 hour period.

This product is only sold from various retail stores directly and impacts all products that share the PL number, but packaged in different liveries. If you have any concerns, please contact Perrigo using the details below.

This recall is not directed to patient level due to the safety assessment on the short-term use of this product by children aged 12 to 15 years.

Advice for patients and consumers

  • Please refer to the correct dosage instructions listed above for Children aged 12 to 15 years.
  • If you experience any side-effects, or have any questions or concerns about your health, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
  • Report any suspected side effects via the Yellow Card scheme

Advice for retailers and wholesalers

  • Stop supplying the above batches immediately. Quarantine all remaining stock and return it to your supplier using your supplier's approved process.

Advice for healthcare professionals

Sometimes it's hard to know if you should call your doctor for advice, make an appointment, or head straight to the emergency room . Coughs are the body's way of protecting itself, explains Howard Balbi, M.D., director of pediatric infectious diseases at Nassau County Medical Center in East Meadow, New York. Coughing serves as the method the body uses to keep the airways clear, ridding the throat of phlegm, postnasal drip (nasal mucus that drips down the back of the throat), or a lodged piece of food. There are two kinds of coughs that serve this purpose: dry cough and wet cough.  Baby Dry Cough: This occurs when a baby has a cold or allergies. A dry cough helps cle...
