• Zakaz wprowadzania — Selected batches are subject to a marketing prohibition — the product cannot be distributed to pharmacies.

An out-of-specification result was found in stability testing - the limit for free methylprednisolone content was exceeded, so the required product quality cannot be confirmed for the whole shelf life. Potential effects: unpredictable efficacy, increased adverse reactions, treatment complications.
