Brief Description of the Problem
IPS Specials is carrying out a company-led recall of two batches at pharmacy and wholesaler level as they have been labelled with an incorrect extended expiry date of 09 Apr 2021 when they should have been labelled as 26 Dec 2017. Due to a master data error the product has been inadvertently assigned an extended shelf life in line with that of the active ingredient.
