DUBLIN (WSVN) — Perrigo has voluntary recalled two batches of its children’s cough medicine due to a defect in the dosing cup which can result in "serious side effects," the company announced.
The following products have been recalled: Guaifenesin grape liquid (100mg/5 mL), 3 batches of its children’s guaifenesin DM cherry liquid (100mg guaifenesin and 5mg dextromethorphan HBr/ 5 ml) sold in 4 oz. bottles.
The company said overdoes of Guaifenesin DM may cause hyper excitability, rapid eye movements, changes in muscle reflexes, ataxia, dystonia, hallucinations, stupor, and coma.
"There have been no reports of adverse events to Perrigo as a result of the incorrect dosage markings.
