■ Genentech is reducing the concentration of Tamiflu [oseltamivir] oral suspension from 12 mg/mL to 6 mg/mL, as this lower concentration is less likely to become frothy when shaken, which helps ensure an accurate measurement and reduces the possibility of dosing errors. The US FDA is highlighting that there are no quality issues with the 12 mg/mL product; however, it is encouraging wholesale buyers, distributors and pharmacies to participate in the manufacturer’s Take Back Program, to limit the potential for confusion resulting from having both concentrations available on the market.
