Boots medication recall

We would like to alert our patients to a medication recall related to a product sold at Boots.

Following a customer complaint, it was identified that the foil blister inside the carton of
Paracetamol 500 mg tablets (16s), incorrectly states ‘Aspirin 300 mg Dispersible Tablets’.

Aspar pharmaceuticals have retrieved and inspected the reported batch and confirmed
that the tablets in the blister packs are Paracetamol 500 mg tablets.

This batch was first distributed on 14/01/2025 and any customers or patients who have purchased the
product should return the packs to Boots stores for a full refund, with or without a receipt.

Advice for Patients:

Stop using the impacted batch immediately and return this to Boots stores where a full
refund will be provided, with or without a receipt.

Aspar Pharmaceuticals Limited and The Boots Company PLC have confirmed that the
tablets in the blister packs are Paracetamol 500 mg tablets and not Aspirin 300 mg
Dispersible Tablets.

If you have taken tablets from the impacted batch and have any additional concerns,
please seek advice from your pharmacist or other relevant healthcare professional.

Patients who experience adverse reactions or have any questions about the medication
should seek medical attention. Any suspected adverse reactions should also be reported
via the MHRA Yellow Card scheme.
