Recall alert for birth control pills

Since I'm currently writing a series on oral contraceptives, I thought I would post this alert for a recall in all provinces of Canada (except Saskatchewan and Alberta) for Alysena-28 manufactured by Apotex. The code on the packages subject to the recall is: LF01899A. The recall has been issued because there may be two weeks of placebo pills rather than one.

The link to the CBC news story is here: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/story/2013/04/08/ns-birth-control-pill-recalls.html?cmp=fbtl

More information on the recall from Health Canada can be found here: http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2013/26663r-eng.php

Ciao,

Andrea
