The Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) has issued a Class II Recall up to the consumer level of YAZ PLUS TABLETS, REG. NO.: 2022/21.2.1/6235, BATCH: WEW961J, manufactured by BAYER (PTY) LTD, SOUTH AFRICA.
The affected batch of YAZ Plus tablets is being recalled because some packs were found to contain 24 light orange hormone-free tablets and 4 pink hormone tablets instead of the correct configuration of 24 pink hormone tablets and 4 light orange hormone-free tablets.
“Non-compliance with product quality specifications may result in loss of efficacy and potential harm to patients.
“This recall is a precautionary measure to protect the public from the possible inefficacy of the affected batch.
“MCAZ advises all licensed wholesalers, pharmacies, public and private clinics, and hospitals to quarantine any affected units of the product and to cooperate fully with Bayer (Pty) Ltd and the local distributors of the product in Zimbabwe during the recall process.
“Members of the public using this contraceptive are urged to check the batch number on their tablet packs. If they have the affected batch, they should immediately stop using the tablets, return the affected packs to their pharmacist, and consult with their healthcare professional,” said MCAZ Director General Richard Rukwata in a statement.
