Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK is recalling a batch of Sandimmun Oral Solution 50ml due to the presence of crystals, the MHRA has said.

The recall affects batch number ADP326002, which was first distributed in May, said the MHRA.

It said: “The presence of crystals has been observed in some finished product packs marketed in other countries that share the same master batch as the UK batch above. 

“Therefore, this UK batch is recalled as a precautionary measure.

“Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK have confirmed no other batches of the product are impacted.”

Pharmacists are advised to stop supplying the affected batch immediately and quarantine any remaining stock before returning it to their supplier.
