The Department of Health (DH) today (16 Sep) endorsed a licensed drug wholesaler, namely Trackcircle.com Limited (Trackcircle), to further recall another batch (batch number: 286490A) of Isozid (isoniazid) 0.5g powder for solution for infusion vial, from the market due to the presence of visible particles in some vials following reconstitution.
The DH received notification from Trackcircle that as part of further testing, the overseas manufacturer of the product has detected visible particles in some vials of the above batch after reconstitution. As a precautionary measure, Trackcircle voluntarily recalls the affected batch from the market.
The above product contains isoniazid, and is a prescription medicine used for tuberculosis. The product is not registered in Hong Kong. According to Trackcircle, the affected batch was imported into Hong Kong and supplied solely to the Hospital Authority for treatment of particular patients.
Trackcircle has set up a hotline (35270198) to answer related enquiries.
So far, the DH has not received any adverse reaction reports in connection with the above batch of product. The DH will closely monitor the recall.
Health-care professionals who have the product in hand should return the product to the supplier.
