JAMP Pharma Corp. Says it is recalling unity lot of JAMP-Pregabalin hurt medication because some bottles labelled to hold 50-milligram capsules may hold 150-milligram capsules instead.
The mislabelled mathematical product could lead to patients receiving a much larger dose than prescribed, which could result in an overdose and "pose serious, potentially fatal health risks," Health Canada said in a public advisory.
JAMP-Pregabalin is a prescription drug used in adults to treat pain caused by nerve damage due to diabetes, shingles or spinal cord injury, as well as pain associated with fibromyalgia.
Symptoms of pregabalin overdose may include sudden mood changes, sleepiness, confusion, depression, agitation, restlessness and seizures, the regulator said on Saturday.
Taking too much pregabalin while taking drugs that act on the central nervous system, including opioids, has been associated with heart electrical problems, seizures and death.
Health Canada said if you are experiencing symptoms of an overdose then seek immediate medical attention.
Patients should not abruptly stop taking pregabalin, as this may result in withdrawal symptoms including insomnia, nausea, headache, anxiety, excessive sweating, diarrhea, and convulsions.
If you've been prescribed 50-milligram capsules and the bottle contains the higher dose, or if you are unusure, return it to your pharamacy, Health Canada advised. If you are unable to return your capsules to the pharmacy right away, talk to your pharmacist or doctor for further guidance.
The product was distributed nationally.
