Irish Cancer Society statement on chemotherapy drug recall
The Irish Cancer Society has become aware today of a precautionary recall of a number of batches of chemotherapy drugs manufactured between 29 September and 12 October 2015 due to a potential drug sterility issue.
Anything which has an adverse effect on cancer patients and causes anxiety to patients and their families is of paramount concern to the Society. The Society is in touch with the HSE and is continuing to monitor the situation closely.
If anyone is experiencing anxiety as a result of this, they can contact the Irish Cancer Society’s Cancer Nurseline on Freephone 1800 200 700 to speak to a nurse who can offer information and support.
