Manufacturer Wockhardt UK has recalled batches of its amoxicillin powder following reports of adverse reactions to injections.

The MHRA issued an alert yesterday (July 22) for the recall of three batches of 500mg vials of the antibiotic for infusion after it received a "small number" of reports of adults and children suffering reactions on the site of their injection.

The recall is part of an ongoing investigation with Wockhardt's contract manufacturer in Italy. According to the MHRA, there was no evidence to suggest the batches were defective.

The medicines watchdog advised health professionals to quarantine all remaining stock and return it to the original supplier for credit.
