The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has been informed that the Rwandan Food and Drug Authority (FDA) has recalled two batches of Unibrol (Aminosidine Sulphate USP 250mg). This recall was due to the discovery of anomalies in consignments of the drug when conducting different spontaneous assessments on the drug from retail pharmacies. The drugs were found with an issue of colour inconsistency in which some tablets of the same blister were changing colours; some tablets have yellow color while others have white color.
Unibrol is a type of antibiotics used in the treatment of intestinal infections.
