Brief description of problem

During routine testing of a small number of batches specific to the USA and Canada, reduced potency was identified after storage for 12 months (the shelf-life is 24 months). No European batches have been found to be affected; however Ferring is recalling all batches on the UK market as a precautionary measure.

Ferring has informed us that one batch with a longer expiry date can be made available for those patients who are already on treatment and for whom the clinician wishes to complete a cycle without interruption. Please contact Ferring Customer Services to arrange this, see details below.
