Important Medicine Recall: Ramipril 5mg Capsules (Batch GR164099)

Some boxes of Ramipril 5mg Capsules made by Crescent Pharma may accidentally contain Amlodipine 5mg Tablets.
Because of this, all packs from Batch Number GR164099 are being recalled as a precaution.

✔️ What you need to do

If you have been given Ramipril 5mg Capsules recently:

1. Check the batch number on your box.
   You’ll find it on the outer carton — look for Batch Number GR164099.
2. Open the box and check what’s inside.
   • Ramipril 5mg Capsules should be light grey and green capsules marked "R" on the cap and "5" on the body.
   • Amlodipine 5mg Tablets are white or off‑white round tablets with "5" on one side and plain on the other.
3. If the strips contain Amlodipine instead of Ramipril:
   Contact your pharmacy as soon as possible.
4. If the strips contain Ramipril Capsules:
   You do not need to do anything else.

⚠️ If you think you may have taken Amlodipine by mistake

Both medicines treat high blood pressure, but swapping one for the other could make your blood pressure lower than usual.
This might cause dizziness or similar symptoms.

If you have taken tablets from this batch and are feeling unwell, seek medical advice immediately.

✔️ When visiting the pharmacy

Take:

• the medicine box,
• the leaflet, and
• any remaining capsules or tablets.

This will help the pharmacy deal with the recall quickly.
