Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Health and Child Care recalls two batches of Nifedipine 10mg tablets, a medication used to manage blood pressure. The ministry says the recall follows quality monitoring and testing by the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ). In a public notice issued on Saturday, it identifies the affected batches as 112033 and 117367.
Both outlets report that the tablets are recalled because they no longer meet the required quality standards, based on the authority’s quality findings. The reporting does not provide details on what specifically failed in the quality assessment, nor does it outline replacement products or timelines for consumers and healthcare providers. Nifedipine remains widely prescribed, so the action focuses on specific manufacturing batches rather than the product broadly.
