According to the Hong Kong Department of Health (DH), Nycomed (Hong Kong) has voluntarily recalled a batch of Omnaris ciclesonide nasal spray due “a quality defect.” The product, from batch number 137930, was manufactured in Germany by Nycomed Gmbh in August 2010.
The DH says that it was notified by Nycomed Gmbh that it had found pinholes in some of the foil pouches containing the nasal spray bottles and that oxygen leaking into the packages could compromise stability. Almost 10,000 packages of the affected batch were imported into Hong Kong, with some of those products then being exported to Macao. The DH has not received any notices of adverse effects.
