An official ACCC notice concerns Valpam 5 (diazepam) 5mg tablets in 50 tablet blister packs. If a patient has an affected pack, there is a risk that they will not have an adequate supply of their medicine and could take the incorrect medicine, which could have serious health consequences. Published 2017-06-10.
What to do now
If you or someone you provide care for takes Valpam 5 (diazepam) 5mg tablets supplied in 50 tablet blister packs, do not take them and please promptly return any unused medicine to a pharmacy for a refund. If possible, you are advised to return your Valpam 5 to the same pharmacy from which it was dispensed. There are a number of generic diazepam products that are bioequivalent to Valpam 5. They contain the same active ingredient and work in the same way and in most situations can be safely substituted for any returned Valpam 5. If you have a valid prescription (this includes repeat prescriptions), the pharmacist will be able to provide you with an equivalent alternative. Please note that all tablets or capsules supplied in a pack should be identical and any product names on the blister pack should match those on the external packaging. If you notice any discrepancies with your medicine, talk to your pharmacist. If you have any questions or concerns about this issue, talk to your health professional.
