Reference: 2024/024
Identifying features
Name: ilium Methadone Injection
APVMA Registration Number: 63712
APVMA Label Number: 56141
Batch Numbers: 230901
Reason for recall
Some units of batch 230901 may not have a label on the bottle, although it is enclosed in a carton with all relevant product information.
Hazard
Unlabelled vials could potentially result in product being used for unintended purposes. However, vials without labels are easy to identify immediately and due to the strict regulations surrounding use and record keeping of schedule 8 drugs, the risk of unlabelled Methadone being used is very low. If the vial is labelled, there is no risk, and the product does not need to be returned.
What to do
Veterinary wholesalers and end users should check all stock on hand of batch 230901 for affected units (i.e. unlabelled vials). If any unlabelled vials are found, please isolate the product and place in quarantine. Troy (contact details included below) will provide advice on management of affected units and arrangements for replacement.
