Certain lots of Audrina 28 birth control pills contain day-of-the-week stickers that have a misprint that could lead to confusion around when to take the medication, Health Canada says.
Audrina 28 is a prescription drug used to prevent pregnancy and treat moderate acne in those menstruating aged 14 years of age or older.
Health Canada said Tuesday that Jamp Pharma Corp., the manufacturer of Audrina 28, is working to correct a misprint in the product’s day-of-the-week sticker.
The stickers are meant to be placed on the blister pack containing the pills. The stickers indicate the first day of the week when the medication is started, and each day of the week that the pills should be taken.
In the affected lots, some of the stickers list Tuesday where it should say Thursday. Health Canada’s website lists the affected lots with an expiry date of 2025-03. The misprint also exists in French.
