Issues related to safety
The label for this medicine was missing the mandatory warning statements for the herbal ingredient Foeniculum vulgare, as set out under 'What action should consumers take?' above. These warning statements are necessary to ensure the safe use of this medicine and to alert consumers to safety risks prior to taking it.
However, given the affected batches of this medicine expired in October 2022 and there is no affected stock on the market, it is unlikely to pose an immediate risk to consumer health and safety.
