Pharmacists and doctors have been told to stop distributing the affected stock<\/a> and begin contacting anyone who may have purchased it recently. If you have been prescribed this medication, you should examine your current supply to ensure the capsules match the dosage on the outer carton.<\/p>\n MORE HEALTH<\/p>\n The MHRA recall said: “Crescent Pharma Limited\u202fis recalling one batch of Ramipril\u00a010mg\u00a0capsules as a precautionary measure\u202fdue to a potential manufacturing error,\u00a0which may mean some cartons\u00a0contain\u00a0blister strips of a lower dose, specifically Ramipril 5mg.\u00a0This follows a complaint from\u00a0a patient where it was\u00a0identified\u00a0that, inside a sealed carton of Ramipril 10mg capsules (Batch No.: GR174091), one blister pack of Ramipril 5mg capsules (Batch No.: GR164094) was found.” <\/p>\n Health professionals are working to trace the medication distributed over the last year to minimise any risk to the public. The focus is on finding patients who received the supply recently, though much of the batch was released in 2025, reports Steven Smith on Chronicle Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Dr Alison Cave,\u00a0MHRA chief safety officer,\u00a0explained that both strengths of the capsule were used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure and kidney disease. She said “Any\u00a0possible impact\u00a0of a lower dose of Ramipril is expected to be gradual rather than immediate or life-threatening.\u00a0<\/p>\n “If you have an impacted pack or previously received this batch and you believe you have taken any Ramipril 5mg capsules that were included in error and are currently experiencing any\u00a0adverse\u00a0effects, please seek medical advice. Please take the leaflet that came with your medicine and any remaining tablets with you to your pharmacy or GP practice. Any suspected adverse reactions should also be reported via the\u00a0MHRA Yellow Card scheme<\/a>,” she said.<\/p>\n READ NEXT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"People using a common blood pressure treatment are being urged to check their pill packets following a packaging…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":544791,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[158048,90801,90802,102,158047,1382,6591,96812,7106,90803,90804,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-544790","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-medication","8":"tag-community-platform","9":"tag-gutenbot","10":"tag-gutenbot_v2","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-inyourarea","13":"tag-local-news","14":"tag-medication","15":"tag-money_and_lifestyle","16":"tag-national","17":"tag-prospero","18":"tag-reach_rips","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom","21":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544790\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Obsessed](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/wellnesswatch-whatsapppromoapp.png\")
