Abu Dhabi Health Authority has ordered a batch of aspirin made by Wockhardt to be immediately withdrawn from the market.
The decision to pull the aspirin 300mg tablets, whose serial number starts with “L”, came after problems were found with the manufacturing process.
Another product made by Wockhardt, Amiloride HCI tablets also with the L branding and a type of diuretic, has also been recalled.
The authority said the two products are not registered with the Ministry of Health but it is possible they are available in some pharmacies and hospitals.
It called on all pharmacies to stop selling both products.

Dr Afridi's warning signs of digital addiction
Spending an excessive amount of time on the phone.
Neglecting personal, social, or academic responsibilities.
Losing interest in other activities or hobbies that were once enjoyed.
Having withdrawal symptoms like feeling anxious, restless, or upset when the technology is not available.
Experiencing sleep disturbances or changes in sleep patterns.
What are the guidelines?
Under 18 months: Avoid screen time altogether, except for video chatting with family.
Aged 18-24 months: If screens are introduced, it should be high-quality content watched with a caregiver to help the child understand what they are seeing.
Aged 2-5 years: Limit to one-hour per day of high-quality programming, with co-viewing whenever possible.
Aged 6-12 years: Set consistent limits on screen time to ensure it does not interfere with sleep, physical activity, or social interactions.
Teenagers: Encourage a balanced approach – screens should not replace sleep, exercise, or face-to-face socialisation.
