This is an anomaly that the Bayer laboratory, which produces Euphytose tablets, cannot explain.
If they
“relieve stress”
and
“promote sleep”
thanks to plants, they are prescribed without a prescription.
Problem, a person found in one of his tubes a blue tablet, which is actually Phenergan 25mg, prescribed to him on medical prescription.
This antihistamine has several properties according to Vidal, namely antiallergic, sedative and atropinic (which fights against spasms and diarrhea, Editor's note).
“The precise origin of this event is currently under investigation
,” the Bayer laboratory underlines to BFMTV.com.
In agreement with the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM), the laboratory recalled a batch of 16,000 boxes as a preventive measure.
“Pharmacists are asked to take all measures within their pharmacy to inform patients of this recall
,” specify the two organizations.
Bayer wishes to reassure its customers: this is an
“isolated”
case which perhaps does not concern all boxes.
To understand what happened, the laboratory opened investigations this Thursday.
On the consumer side, the 16,000 recalled boxes are easy to identify.
Just check the batch number, only SX2298 which expires in March 2025 is affected.
Also note that Euphytose herbal tablets are normally brown, not blue like Phenergan.
If any doubt persists, do not hesitate to contact your doctor or pharmacist.
The ANSM plans to publish a series of additional recommendations this Thursday afternoon through a communications campaign.
