The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has alerted Nigerians to the recall of approximately 90,000 bottles of Children’s Ibuprofen Oral Suspension in the U.S.
The agency on its X-handle on Saturday said the product was recalled by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) due to the presence of foreign material inside the medication.
According to NAFDAC, the recall was initiated by Strides Pharma Inc., the product manufacturer, after consumers reported the presence of a “gel-like mass” and “black particles” in the oral suspension.
The product, Children’s Ibuprofen Oral Suspension, USP (100 mg/5 mL), is commonly used to relieve pain associated with colds, flu, sore throat, headaches and toothaches in children.
