Jean-Marie Pharmacal voluntarily recalls three drugs

The other two products Jean-Marie Pharmacal is also recalling are Elisa U tablet (HK-07463) and Triganet tablet (HK-28072).

Samples of Delna-U Tablet collected during DH’s market surveillance were found by the Government Laboratory to contain only 0.69mg of propantheline bromide per tablet, as against the registered content of 3mg per tablet.

A spokesman for DH said deviations from the registered amount of active ingredients of a pharmaceutical product could affect treatment effectiveness.

Jean-Marie Pharmacal said that all three products involved are used for the treatment of stomach pain and gastric ulcers.
