Warning Issued for Potential Contamination in Certain Over-the-Counter Medications
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
The Public Health Agency has issued a warning regarding a potential contamination risk in specific batches of over-the-counter pain relievers and cold medications. According to reports, some products may be tainted with a foreign substance that could cause adverse reactions in certain individuals.
Consumers are advised to check the packaging and lot numbers of their medications against the list published on the agency's website. Those who have purchased affected products are recommended to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or dispose of them properly. No adverse reactions have been reported yet, but the agency is taking precautionary measures to ensure public safety.
Symptoms of potential contamination may include skin rashes, itching, or swelling. If you experience any unusual reactions after taking these medications, seek medical attention immediately. The agency is working closely with the manufacturer to rectify the situation and prevent further distribution of contaminated products.
