🚨 Important Alert for Ramipril Users! 🚨
If you or someone you know is taking Ramipril, a popular medication for high blood pressure, kidney disease, or heart failure, take note! A specific batch of Ramipril 2.5mg capsules by Crescent Pharma Limited is being recalled due to a packaging error. Some cartons may actually contain blister strips of a higher dose—10mg instead of 2.5mg!
**Here’s What You Need to Do:**
1. Check your packaging for batch number GR155023. This info is on the outer carton.
2. If your 2.5mg carton contains 10mg blister strips, stop taking the pills immediately and contact your pharmacy.
3. If your carton has the correct 2.5mg blister strips, you’re good to go—continue your medication as usual.
**Why It Matters:**
Excessive doses of Ramipril could lead to side effects like feeling lightheaded, fainting, fatigue, or altered kidney function. If you’re experiencing any unusual symptoms, don’t hesitate to seek medical advice.
For those affected by the mix-up, bring the packaging and any remaining tablets to your pharmacy or GP practice for guidance. Remember to report any suspected side effects through the MHRA Yellow Card scheme.
Stay safe and informed, and share this message with others who might benefit. Let’s spread the word to ensure everyone’s health remains a top priority! 🌟
