If the carton contains blister strips that are labelled and contain Amlodipine 5 mg tablets, contact your dispensing pharmacy in the first instance. If the carton contains blister strips that are labelled and contain Ramipril 5 mg Capsules, you do not need to take further action.

If you are unsure or have any questions, please seek advice from your pharmacy or other healthcare professionals responsible for your care.

If you have an impacted pack or previously received this batch, (where known) and you believe you have taken the Amlodipine 5 mg Tablets that were included in error and are currently experiencing any side effects, then please seek immediate medical advice.

Please take the leaflet that came with your medicine and any remaining tablets with you to your pharmacy or GP practice.

Both medications are used to treat high blood pressure, however because your body may not be used to a different type of medicine, your blood pressure may become lower than normal and you may experience dizziness as a result of taking amlodipine.

Our HUB is now able to accept card payments.

We are also running out of room in the Hub, if you have received a code we would be grateful if you could come and collect your medication ASAP so we can free up space to input more medications for other patients.

We are having issues with our HUB machine, it is currently unable to take payments. If you pay for your prescriptions and are in need of medication soon, please collect from inside the surgery before 6pm tonight, between 9am-1pm tomorrow or from 8am on Monday.

We are working with the engineers to have this resolved as soon as possible.

Please accept our apologies.
