Recalled Products
Rexall Extra Strength Allergy Sinus Medication
Reason
The inner printing on the outer carton of the product is missing the contraindication for “chronic lung disease”. The product contains active ingredients acetaminophen, pseudoephedrine HCl, and chlorpheniramine maleate. The chronic lung disease warning is required for products containing chlorpheniramine maleate because it is an antihistamine that is thought to produce anticholinergic effects including dryness of the mouth and respiratory passages.
Depth of distribution
Distributed to the retail level. Nationally in Canada only.
