Birth Control Being RECALLED

from The Roger PharmD Show · host Roger Ma, PharmD

"Apotex Inc. is recalling a batch of Alysena 28 birth control pills. The company says they may not be effective in preventing pregnancy because the pills were chipped. Alysena 28 is a prescribed birth control pill, with 21 “active” pills and 7 “inactive” pills. The “active” pills were the ones with chips, Health Canada said, which means they may contain less of the active drug ingredients." - Global News
