The agency said Ranbaxy failed to update the patient information leaflets to include approved safety warnings, some of which were mandatory and initiated by the European Medicines Agency.
Pharmacists have been asked to quarantine all remaining stock of these batches and return it to the wholesaler from which it was purchased.
In addition, primary care trusts are asked to bring the notice to the attention of community pharmacists, general practitioners, dental practitioners and extended formulary nurse prescribers.
