The Ministry of Health has recalled a brand of nasal spray.

The Ministry has advised that a batch of Minirin RTS nasal spray, with the expiration date of August 2022, should be pulled.

According to the Ministry the product is not used in the Public Health Sector but is prescribed for adults and children with Diabetes Insipidus.

The form of diabetes is rare and occurs when the kidneys are unable to conserve water.

In a release yesterday the Ministry told of the recall of Batch: R14349.

The Ministry said the recall is as a result of a detection of bottles of the spray, containing out of specification results, for an active substance.
