What to do
Contact your health care provider to discuss other treatment options, as there are no other companies marketing extended release propranolol in Canada. Continue taking your medication unless you have been advised to stop by your health care provider. Not treating your condition poses a greater health risk. Contact Pfizer Canada ULC at 1-800-463-6001 or www.pfizermedinfo.ca for medical inquiries and at 1-800-387-4974 for general inquiries if you have questions about the recall. Report any health product-related side effects or complaints to Health Canada.
