Error could lead to an incorrect dose

Norbrook Laboratories Ltd has issued a product recall for its anti-inflammatory product, Loxicom 1.5mg/ml oral suspension for dogs.

The recall affects batch number 6231-90D. The product is marketed in a 10ml pack and has an expiry date of December 2017.

In a statement the VMD said that the 1ml syringe within the pack has ‘Lbs’ printed on it as the unit of measure instead of kg.

‘This error could lead to an incorrect dose being administered to dogs,’ they write.

Any queries in relation to the return of the product should be directed to:
