Glaxo Wellcome UK has recalled 3 lots of inhalers

If you live with asthma and use inhalers, you need your inhaler to work as it should.

We want you to know that Glaxo Wellcome UK has recalled 3 lots of inhalers in the UK because a few of them may not deliver the full number of doses.

The medicine in the inhalers has not been affected. So don’t worry if you’ve used these inhalers – it won’t have harmed you. But you may not have got the medicine you need.

The inhalers affected are:

Seretide Accuhaler inhaler 50/250MCG –1X60D

Lot: 5K8W

Expiry date: 28/04/2019

Ventolin Accuhaler inhaler 200MCG –1X60D

Lot: 754P

Expiry date: 11/05/2019

Ventolin Accuhaler inhaler 200MCG –1X60D

Lot: 786G

Expiry date: 12/05/2019

If your inhaler is one of these, get a new inhaler from your pharmacist straight away. There is no need for you to have a prescription or visit your GP – your inhaler will simply be replaced.

Thanks for informing us about the faulty inhalers. I'm asking my Chemist to put up a notice for customers to read.
