February 26, 2018

Ventolin Accuhaler 200mcg lot numbers 786G & 754P) are being recalled by Glaxo Wellcome because a manufacturing issue with these lots has been identified which has resulted in a small number of Ventolin Accuhalers 200mcg not delivering the full number of doses.

Lot number & expiry date are printed on the accuhaler and the outer packaging (see images below).

Colleagues are asked to:

  • Check the lot number on patients’ Ventolin Accuhalers 200mcg (include any patients own drugs that may have been prescribed by their GP or another service).
  • Arrange for replacement stock if any of the affected lots are found.
  • Quarantine any affected stock and return to Pharmacy.

Note: Pharmacy stock, ward stock and an initial check of patients own drugs have been carried out but it is possible that patients may be admitted with Ventolin Accuhalers that have not been checked.
