A number of batches of cough medicine Tixylix has been recalled because of a potential fault in the tamper seal.

George Borg Barthet Ltd, the local importers, said the manufacturing fault might result in small pieces of plastic being found in the medicine.

There was currently no evidence of problems as a result of the fault but patients have been advised to return the medicines as a precautionary measure.
