Mylan Pharmaceuticals ULC Canada, in consultation with Health Canada,
is voluntarily recalling all lots of its Mylan-Nitro Spray 0.4
mg/metered dose due to the product missing the "dip tube," which is part
of the pump component.
A missing "dip tube" could pose a potential problem with the delivery
of nitroglycerin to the patient. This defect may lead patients to
believe they are receiving the nitroglycerin, when in fact they are
unable to access it. Not receiving nitroglycerin could place them at
risk for either a delay in treatment for their angina or of suffering a
heart attack.
Products affected
- Mylan-Nitro Spray 0.4 mg/metered dose (Lots: 2L734, 2L731, 3E830, 3E828, 3F834, 3F837, 3K873, 3K877B, 4B948, and 4B949)
What you should do
- Return the product to the pharmacist and get a replacement.
- Speak to your healthcare provider if you have any concerns regarding the use of this product.
- Report any adverse events to Health Canada.
Who is affected
Canadians who are using the Mylan-Nitro Spray (0.4 mg/metered). The
company has indicated that it has not received reports of any adverse
events associated with the defective product.
