• Wycofanie z obrotu — Some of the products covered by the decision were withdrawn from the market — please return them to the pharmacy/distributor.
• Zakaz wprowadzania — Selected batches are subject to a marketing prohibition — the product cannot be distributed to pharmacies.

Consequently, there is a risk of preparing a medicine with a qualitative composition inconsistent with the prescription, which endangers patients’ health and life. Potential effects: lack of treatment efficacy, adverse effects related to the wrong active substance.
